1943/44 Copper. 43's Everyehere

All I asked for was a little advise! This ain't no bull! I just wanted to reason with this coin myself. It is what it is! I added a couple of more photo's for the debunkers, but It doesn't really matter now. I will move on. Yes I did find two 1909 s vdb's in the same location and it happened to be an old bank. I found a whole pewter coin holder full but there were only two 1909's actually 3 but is a plain 1909. It's sad the morals people have nowadays, makes me sick. Yes the coin has the strikings on the reverse also. So, it was jambed and got beat to death. It's always possible that the machine had the markings on the press and needed replaced! I know some of you guys are somewhat smart enough to maybe think that. All I wanted was some simple advise! I will move on to a more adult area! Bye!

First of all, I wish to apologize to you RPeternell, for any responses you may have received, in what my opinion may have been, inappropriate. I myself, was quite astonished at the "tone" of some of the responses you received.

I, myself, am new to this forum. I have seen some really warm and friendly greetings and assistance to new members for the most part.

However, I must say, I have also seen some replies that have seemed to be somewhat quite the opposite, as well. I must admit that if I was asking for assistance in reference to something I was not quite clear on, I would be rather offended, as well.

That being said, perhaps we all need to think and choose our responses carefully before we reply to another member, whether that member be new or a long-time member, so we do not make that member feel unwelcome by inappropriate, or replies that are accusatory.

If I am out of line in my reply, I apologize as well, but this forum is named Coin Community Family for a reason, and every member should feel welcomed and proud to be among other m embers with the same interests in our hobby.

I'm sorry if you ever felt offended but if you have read the rules, it says that opinions that are made by members are just that, opinions. my opinion was that it is highly unlikely that you would ever find 2 S VDBs, a 14D, and a coin that doesn't exist. and I explain how it isn't possible for that to be made. whats offending about that? I never said it in a tone, I just emphasized the word highly. Usually when a member comes on here that is newer, and posts an extraordinary post about finding rare coins and errors, we doubt, because 99% of the time, there's no picture, no evidence except for a family story about their long lost grandfather or something, and no reasoning, and when you said S VDBs, a 14D, and a 22 weak S found metal detecting, were going to doubt. how can we not doubt? that's at least $3000 in coins there. found metal detecting! so, we wanted answers.

i hope you rethink your moving to another forum, and I am sorry you were offended.

I'm afraid he is letting his imagination run away with him on the 1944 cent. I don't see a 43 in any of the places he is saying they are at. And why would there be half a dozen 43's all over a 1944 cent? Can't say anything about any of the other coins he says he found because he hasn't shown any of them He might have found them. After all once they were made they had to go somewhere.



We have bad morals because we don't see the same things he does and we say so?



Clearly he does not know anything about how coins are struck.



You just want advice? OK, don't bother with the 1944 because it is nothing. Any advice on the other coins will have to wait until after you have posted pictures of them. And this is one of the best forums for getting advice.



Good luck getting advice on the adult forums.

If anyone thinks that any of the replies posted so far have been harsh, then you must have some really thin skin or you haven't been on the World Wide Web for very long. I see nothing wrong with any of the posts and to be perfectly honest, RPeternell's first post was quite confusing and the provided pics were even more confusing. This forum is about as family-friendly as you can find. If you want to see the proverbial flip side of the coin, go hang out at the PCGS Collectors Universe forum for a while- you will learn the true meaning of flaming over there...

A badly worn coin but still readable. Since ya'll don't believe what I have found I will post them as soon as I get them into the computer.

Welcome back RPeternell. Lots of environmental damage to this coin. It's obviously spent a lot of time taking a "dirt bath". With a little imagination I can see what appears to you to be an S mint mark however, since no cents were ever struck at the San Francisco mint in 1922, the dies were never made and that makes it an impossibility. Sometimes our eyes can play tricks on us.

I am still confused. Mr. Peternell is thi you 1922, 1943/44 or one of your 1909 SVDB's. I am not being a jerk I just still have no idea at what I am supposed to be looking?

Regards Sir.
