My grandmother is where the coin came from and I would ask her but she passed several years ago, born in 1904 makes me wonder how she would have come across or why should would've kept a fake as she always had coins and even rolls around she kept to give all her kids amd grandchildren after she was gone,,, all coins set idle for quite a long time and slowly her grandchildren made off with most of them,,,,,although a few remained and were never looked and my start to saving wheat penny for my children as well as silver certificates I one day came upon a can with a fee handfuls of coins in it that later found out were from my grandmother,,,naturally I went straight to the wheat penny's for my children's small collection in which I had started,,in the total of 7 or so wheat penny's was the 43 in which ive posted but knew nuthing about at the time of aquiring,,,months upon months later I discovered the rarity of a 43 and so I went to locate amongst the penny's I save for my children,,and infact thought I had lost it,,but on the back of a piece of notebook paper where I was sorting the penny's and righting down their dates upon I had taped 4 penny's I guess I didn't finish categorizing and low and behold where 3 steel and the 1 from grandmother I had been looking for so after that which was about a year ago or maybe longer I started to inquire ,question and present to coin shops and collectors and upon them actually holding in their hand and seeing their reaction got me even more intrigued,,,, now I'm only intrigued as to how much I've been able to invest in one penny to still be where I started but to have much more knowledge about,,,ive recieved a small education about this particular coin that honestly when I think about it has only been a curse or a type of hecks to me and my Financials,chatting about it with you all was decided to be my last resort before putting thus hecks on somebody else,, guess ill hold onto it until the person comes along and decides to break this curse because it has exhausted me to point of no return mentally and financially therfore I guess it'll remain in the bottom of this crown royal bag collection set back for my children,,,although placing the cursed coin on them doesn't seem right I hope to get rid of it before they to come to deal with it,,

I've had the coin weighed by the top coin collectors in amarillo Texas, as well put up on a big screen and viewed underneath a magnification apparatus that looked like a microscope and just as most the gentleman's said opinion was that he believed all to be authentic but 1 thing gave him pause or was a question to him which was the dots or markings on obverse side between words in God we trust he said looked alittle faint but other than that everything about his assessment he believed it to be authentic,,,,,ive been trying to get all input and opinions I could gather since I've had the coin and with that said ive spent hundreds if not a couple thousand taking to those that want to look at it and have spent more time fooling with the dern thing than I ever dreamed any coin to be worth which maybe more beneficial to give up and save myself what I've put towards the coin ill never get back or that I'll save myself in future if I do,,, thank u all much appreciated as ive mentioned already this chat has been more help in 2 days compared to all ive spent doing the past year,,,thank u all

Just want to say thanks to all that have given their opinion and also facts on this coin in which some I didn't know and knew little about the other facts of this coin or for any coin at all for that matter,,, I became a member of ngc roughly 8 month ago but wasn't sure how to get real feedback will real facts supporting until just 2 days ago I decided to join a forum and chat it up,,,,with that said ive never be more impressed with how my post or questioning has been taken as serious as all of you that replied seems to be nor have been given the respect on this matter in which has been so hard to capture from others unless live in person in that you all have given to me ive learned so much from,,,,you all are a rare breed in my opinion,,you all are first class,,,I hope that in my days to come I to am seen to possess the same characteristics to a complete stranger to aid in their questioni g or concern just as you have done unto me,,,, thank u so very much,,, hats off to you with upmost gratitude,,, kyle from Texas

Thank you for your time and what u have pointed out others have not,,I appreciate you very much?? Thanks gor your 2 cents,,,,,maybe worth 1 mire cents than that of any of my said 2 cents

That or just get rid of it because I swear it's like a curse in which I can't afford to turn into a possible blessing,,(or just have invested for what Maynot,,,or maybe,,, give this blessed curse to another that can afford to take chances so maybe the rich get richer,,,,lol,,,

Came out of bunch of counseling ny grandmother had Are u comparing it against another copper or what exactly,,? Yours copper? Copper cure different? My camera is like my scales (which is my cell phone) and that could make big difference to naked eye when compared to or if taken with better camera,, Or why would somebody go the distance making everything else correct in which that of other counterfeits aren't able to d fake or detection is so much more obvious?? Please don't take as me being an ,, not meaning to be,,guess im just tired of questioning it and I should just get it authenticated to eliminate my questioning which would also do favors to the very few ,,such as yourself that has been more honest and up front than most anybody else and taking time,,I appreciate u for that.

Next to earth magnets

Earth magnets,,,and weight

Doesn't stick to a magnet and it weighs correctly

The coin weighs correct and doesn't stick to a magnet

So what if u have a coin such as this and more than 15 dealers,coin collectors,coins shops have looked it over for not 1 of any whom have looked it over deem it counterfeit,if anything I get told they want no part of the coin or being responsible for it,or tell me to get a bodyguard until I get it locked in safety deposit box or authenticated,,if speak to anybody on the phone regarding the coin they treat me as if im full of mess and even upon sending pic all ive been told is if we thought to be real we be on next plane,,, who do u trust with it in order to be authenticated and graded so that I may sell it?? Or how do u get people to take serious without being treated as if we're an insufficiently_thoughtful_person,,,once it's in the.hands of any dealer or collector u then finally get their attention but yet they want nuthing to do with it or for u to leave it with them tgat is if they don't offer u a couple thousand for it whole acting as if the coin is nuthing?? This coin has been a struggle for 3 years ,,Im to the point i just want it gone
