Solved! "19 3" steel penny - error (but no value)

burghman

Going through a couple rolls of steel pennies and I found 3 that are missing the '4' in the date. The bottom one in the picture below seems to have a hint of the '4' even though it feels flat, but the other 2 look completely flat where the number should be. Anything to get excited about? Given that I found 3, I assume not but figured I'd check. Thanks.

Edit - searching via the forum isn't my strong suit, but a Google search brought up this thread which answers my question: https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/960068/1943-steel-cent-with-weak-4-in-the-date

Very interesting. The 3rd one could be grease filled die (they all might be). Very odd that you found three of them.

I'm glad you posted it anyway, as I did not see that old thread.

That's right! Some time's up dates like that are needed to reboot are memories. Funny how we need to forget some stuff to make room for others stuff.

I think I forgot about that one to remember this. This bug can squirt hot urine at predators can you imagine if we could do that. I would be squirting every thing I'd be out of urine in no time....

Looks like he had been holding it in for quite some time.

I am sorry but the urine thing is a bit much. Now have the bug holding an AR-10 blowing through a 25 round mag!

Yes... the filled die numbers have been noted before (thanks for posting that link)....Interesting that you found three in roll searching.... Cheers, RickO
