Best chance it's a replica from overseas or a novelty coin from the 60's or 70's.

You cant, send it to PCGS.

Confirmation is only given by a Professional Grading Service of coinage.
We could give our thoughts on your theory only.
Take some time to prove your points,
Weight ?
Photo's with filters should help.
Undress the coin first.

Start with clear close-up pictures out of the holder. We may be able to tell if it is worth pursuing further.

It's definitely from the 1940s just can't quite make out the last #. Not sure if it's just me wanting it to be a 3 but I'm starting to lean towards that. Also the last number seems to be lower than the 4 which is a good indicator?

I'm not seeing a 1943. The tail of the three should be lower as you state, but it also should curl more to the left. The last number on this coin has more the shape of a 9.

For argument sake let's say it is a 1943 is this a coin that would draw interest in this condition?

lcutler

If it was, then yes it certainly would. It would have to be authenticated though. So you would have to spend the money on something that is just about certainly not worth it.

The coin is very thin almost looks like it's missing a layer. Unfortunately I dont have access to a scale right now but it feels pretty light. Im almost certain it's a three I'm gonna post some more pics hopefully they look a lil better. Thanks for responding by the way I really appreciate it

Just too corroded for me to say anything for sure, but most closely resembles a 9 in my opinion.

Good luck convincing anyone it's a 1943 but the odds are astronomically against it.

Sorry, looks like a deformed 1945.
