1943?

if it is...... WOW! i know some are plated and knockoffs. but if that one was buried, you would know if it was plated! another therory, some people took 1948 pennies and filed the half of the 8 down to look like a 3. if it truly is a real 43, you got a winner. i would have it examined and graded. still in that condition, you could have a nice chunk of change! fingers crossed!!!!!

:surprised: WOW. From the pic it looks like it. Just plain ole awesome ! Yes, get it checked out and let us know.

anyone had a coin graded authenticated before? trying to find where to start. Magnet doesn't pick it up either
 
I looked in my 2016 Red Book and it reads "Although no bronze cents were officially issued that year, a few specimens struck in error on bronze or silver planchets are known to exist; bronze examples have sold for over $200,000 in recent years..." It further states that fewer than three dozen are thought to exist!
Have you searched online for coin dealers in your area? That's where I would begin. See if any have reviews.
Good luck and do keep us posted!
 
seems there are so many grader companies. Almost all want you to mail the coin to them. This isn't going to happen haha .I am trying to find a local coin dealer that has certifications
 
Joekool, I would try to find a local dealer or even museum that could help you out. Don't let anyone walk off to a back room with it either, keep your eyes on it. Something that rare could be a target for theft.
Hopefully there's not too many people with bad intent to deal with. Good luck and keep us posted. :happy:
 
Some of the larger numismatic shows have on-site grading by PCGS or NGC, the two major grading services.

Even if it turns out to be an altered coin, still a wonderful find. And beyond wonderful if it is real...

Either way, don't you wish that coin could talk?
