How much is this worth and what would you ,Orville and Russ,grade it

Boom

OK Orville and Russ.suppose you both tell me what this grades and it's approximate value!

oreville

Boom: I see a 1943......but the date does not look right........an altered date 1948 copper cent in your link (?)........is what you want us to grade and place a value on?

Grade? Better than an AU but I can't make out if there is any luster on the coin.

Value? Tough one.

Boom

I think if you enlarge it you willsee that it is a copper 43 Take a good ,long hard look at that 3 . Maybe make a copy of it if it helps and enlarge it.

Boom

Oreville......Oreville....you're not chickening out on me now are you!?

The coin is surely a copper coated 1943 cent. You can even see where the copper is worn off.....Ken

Thanks boom, I did not realize there was a larger version. That was SMALL before!

That is a 1943 date but it looks coated to me as I see no luster and the lettering is showing signs of color differences.

But I can't be sure on autenticity.

By the way, I am posting the reverse of that $20 for you in that other post as I finally found it.

Outhaul

Ditto Ken

Boom: I finally got the reverse of the $20 posted for you in that other post. I thopught you wanted to test our grading skills not our authenticity checking skills.

It's not genuine... and the picture is far too compressed to reach a grade, regardless...

Is it attracted by a magnet?

OK, Here goes, the coin is probably a 58 and worth 90K?
What did I win? Guessing the peeling is a diagnostic?

Cant tell for sure from the picture, is it slabbed? If not,one would have to wonder why not on such a mega coin like that if it is real.

Edit added: After posting above started wondering on the total graded pops for the bronze 43-P
PCGS 04/2002=0, NCG 04/2002=7, ANACS 08/2003=2

billiardmaster

Are you ever going to tell us what the deal is?

Boom...if this coin is in your possession, put a magnet to it.

Boom

To my preceding three Numismatic Brethren,starting with question #!- Islemangu...It's not slabbed #2 Rusty...No, I won't! And #3 My pal-Razorface- Yes, I've conducted the magnet test! It doesn,t stick to a magnet! That ought to just about answer your question,Rusty(Billiardmaster) and Mr. Perry and my boy,airplanenut....WRONG!!!
