    GHOSTGIRL If you were to learn how coins were minted, you would know that what you have is impossible to have happened during the striking of the coin. There is no way the rim could be bent while struck in collar.

    Not a cladding error, it looks more like a stain. Value 10 cents.

    Welcome to the Forum. Your coin is just damaged, known as PMD (Post Minting Damage). It has taken several hits, one of which bent the rim inward. In the future, please show both sides of the coin
  4. Greenstang
    Sorry, not even close. There are only 3 known in existence and that is not number four.

    Agree with Texas Cent (Because everything is bigger in Texas) We have seen several of these on here. They are considered damage so no premium.

    Not quite sure what info your looking for but this is what I know. During the war in an effort to save nickel, the US mint changed there coinage an alloy of 56%copper, 35%silver and 9% Magnesium. There were 271,165,000 of the 1943P 5 cent coins minted. The value unless high grade is in the 35% silver content. The large mint mark on he wartime 5 cents signify they are of the silver content.

    Brand new rolls do not mean a coin can’t be damaged. Until better pictures, I agree that is just PMD
  8. Greenstang
    All you had to do is check your picture against an authentic coin and you would see that it is not close to being genuine.

    Welcome to the Forum A picture of both sides will be needed. There are counterfeits of these cents and would like to eliminate that possibility. A side fact: There are more 1943 copper cents known than 1983, so the odds of even having one let alone two are astronomical.
  10. Greenstang
    Looks like a steel penny that has started to rust.
  11. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum. What makes you think that is a 1943?
  12. Greenstang
    That is the weight of the copper plated zinc cent
  13. Greenstang
    It’s not an error. All 1990 Lincoln cents are like that. (Called Wide AM or WAM). What you are looking for is a 1998, 1999 or 2000 WAM. Yours is just worth face value. PS- Coins are not printed, they are struck or minted. Currency is printed.

    Post a clear picture of both sides. Most fakes are pretty easy to identify. Someone here should be able to help you.
  15. Greenstang
    It is a Struck Through. Nice closeup pictures.
  16. Greenstang
    Where do you see DDO/R, all I see is damage and corrosion.
  17. Greenstang
    I agree No Doubling thatI can see.
  18. Greenstang
    Are all all eleven like that or just those two?
  19. Greenstang
    Please supply a picture. Hard to say what it is without seeing it. We don’t even know the denomination.

    Welcome to the Forum Aside from a straight on shot, please crop your photos, orient properly and remove from cellophane. The best shot possible is required for grading photos. We have to be able to see any details the coin may have.
  21. Greenstang
    Really need a close-up of that area but from what I can see, it looks like it was struck through grease or oil.
  22. Greenstang
    Broken posts are a common problem for any D or P mint mark. They don’t really add any value.
  23. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum Sorry but that is not an error, it has been damaged after it left the mint. Known as PMD ( Post Minting Damage) Also please do not handle coins in your hand, hold them by the edges.
  24. Greenstang
    I think it is damage or someone is trying to create a "Ragged Clip" There should be no zinc showing as when it was barrel plated, it would cover the affected area plus I would think there would be some sort of Blakesly affect
  25. Greenstang
    Not sure where you see a Double Strike. If it was Double Struck, the whole coin would be affected, not just one area.
