WOW is that a scarry story from out of an old coin book. Not sure how old that is but just to mention the name and address of an individual with a coin or coins worth thousands of dollars anytime in the past is just plain DUMB. Even just STUPID. Also, stating he is a coin collector. Just imagine yourself or anyone here posting their names and addresses with a story about your great wealth anywhere in public. Either this is a fake story or as Conder said, just someone taken in with a fake. Now back to my counting all my 1959 Wheat Back Cents. Anyone want to buy one of my 1921D Cents?

Since this is a coin forum and probably mostly collectors as members, I would suspect if any here found or received one all you would hear is MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE. A dealer might consider selling but many I know would also say MINE, MINE, MINE. Report this Post to the Staff

You think that is scary, did you know that in the late 50's and early 60's the ANA actually published directories with the names and addresses of all their members? They finally stopped when a burglary ring was broken up that was using a copy of the ANA directory as a list of potential victims. Report this Post to the Staff
Nightlite73 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/03/2011 12:04 am Ok, I have been holding onto this for a couple years. I dont want to send it in. How can I tell if it is actually the real thing besides not being magnetic. Help (or its just going back in the safe) Report this Post to the Staff
Nightlite73 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/11/2011 08:49 am Ok. So, I sent my 43 copper into ANACS for grading. It came back as an N9 - stamped fake. Gotta keep on looking. Just another something for the safe. I'd like to know who stamped it so I can stomp them. Report this Post to the Staff
FOTD Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 10/11/2011 09:04 am did they stamp it on your actual coin? Man that would get my goat (to put it very politely). Report this Post to the Staff

Ricardocody Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 10/11/2011 1:11 pm Im same as badthad thank you for let us know the outcome ! I just dont think they have the right to stamp on your coin , the maximum would be fake on the slab's title . When I saw your coin first time I though the 3 lil suspect but I never saw a real 43 copper so couldnt help you ... Anyway defnately worth the shot , I would do the same .

Whytlash Valued Member United States 407 Posts	Posted 10/11/2011 5:13 pm Folks, they didn't stamp anything ON THE COIN. It came back with a label on the body bag with the code "N9" which means "Stamped Fake". Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/11/2011 5:46 pm Struck fake= created with spurious dies and struck on a copper planchet with a press It is much nicer than the usual "copper" 1943s which are either altered dates or plated, but also much more dangerous for collectors.

googoo Valued Member United States 466 Posts	Posted 10/11/2011 5:50 pm I found a non silver in color 1943 cent in circulation the color was very strange though and I could tell immediately it was just plated sure enough it was sucked right up by a magnet Report this Post to the Staff
