    Where is the OP and the photos of the edge that he promised?

    The coin he thinks he has is supposed to be clad, i.e. layered.

    I never knew that this coin ever existed of course we all dream about finding that 1943 bronze penny worth millions but there are very few out there and none of us collectors will ever find that penny because there's not enough I have found a 1974 steel penny is just as rare as a 1943 copper penny I have found a super rare coin I know it's not fake I've looked at it with the microscope

    My girlfriends father is a coin collector. He has thousands upon thousands of coins ranging from foreign to domestic. I was taking a look at his extensive collection when we were searching his 43 steel cents. At the bottom of his roll, we found a 43 copper, we knew it was copper because it wasn't magnetic. I held it in my hand and needless to say it was a surprise for both of us, it looked like white paint was spilled on it at one point which made it seem like it was steel, but wasn't. He's sent it into PCGS for grading a couple months ago.

    You should start your own thread. In any case, do you have photos?

    I am pretty sure I know what PCGS is going to say, but I don't want to spoil it for you.

    I do have photos but I'm a new member and I can't send photos in until my account is verified lol, when I get verified I would be happy to share.

    I'm confused. If it is illegal to own this cent, why post it and kinda brag that you have it. Doesn't make much cents to me. :/

    When you sell this coin will you buy land in the metaverse?

    Can't wait to see how this one turns out.
