1943 copper cent

Broknhalo

I just seen an ad on offer up for a sale that happened in Bakersfield CA for 1943 copper cent ..not sure what it sold for but I was floored when this person said he couldn't afford grading fee's..I mean if it were the real thing you could afford anything..I still can't believe it.

Any reason to start three separate threads for one coin?

Apart from that, “1804 dollars” and “copper 1943 cents” are pretty common at flea markets and such. It’s almost certainly one of thousands (millions?) of cheap fakes that somehow routinely come out of “gramma’s old house”, a “forgotten old safe” or an “estate sale.”

There is no Santa Claus in numismatics, not even at the North Pole.

Sold for $0 (bottom left of screen capture).

There is a reason the pics are so bad. Buyer beware.

Keep your pics of the same item/topic in one thread.

Not graded ... most likely a novelty coin?

I would not even consider such an offer... and yes, they are plentiful at aliexpress and other such sites....Very sad that someone will buy one and lose their money. Cheers, RickO
