    Compare the photo to a real 1943 cent. Then go look at the alibaba fakes.

    I imagine the counterfeiter used a real 1943 steel cent to create his false dies. Since the 1943 cent is steel, it can be hardened and used as a hub to press the design into a blank die which can then be used to strike fake copies of this coin.

    No one will take this coin seriously until after it's been graded and authenticated by a major grading company such as NGC or PCGS.

    I don't know about that - I'm sure someone would pay a good premium on eBay for it! B)

    Yup. The pic of the coin on the scale looks like a typical circulated steel cent with the dark gray color. I bet a magnet would pick that coin up.

    The same goes for the top two photos, too, especially contrasted with the bronze cent beneath it, So why was all of the talk about a counterfeit bronze example?

    I understand that, but the pictures appeared to indicate otherwise.
