Is this PVC damage on this 1943 Lincoln Cent?

Russ · January 18, 2004 9:09AM

I know what it looks like on a silver coin, but I'm pretty lost when it comes to copper. Is that PVC or some other contaminant?

Is this really a thread about a copper 1943 cent?

Russ · January 18, 2004 9:14AM

Uh, Jeremy, since Lincoln cents are made out of copper than I guess, duh, well yes it is.

Thank you for the clarification, Russ... some just seem a little rarer in copper than others...

wingedliberty · January 18, 2004 9:16AM

If its genuine, it should go for $100,000

Russ · January 18, 2004 9:17AM

<< some just seem a little rarer in copper than others... >>

Okay, now you lost me. Lincolns are pretty much minted by the billions - except for a few years like the 1909S-VDB.

1943's in copper weren't minted in the billions, Russ... in fact, all the steel ones were hardly 1 billion in total

wingedliberty · January 18, 2004 9:21AM

The 43 is steel. Coppers are exceedingly rare.

Boom · January 18, 2004 9:22AM

Amusing ! Bwahahahaha

Gee it looks like a one in a million Lincoln Cent. Got it off thsoe guys that though it was worth a bunch of money, did ya?LMAO

I have a real one-remember!? And it's NOT for sale ,no how-no way!

Russ · January 18, 2004 9:23AM

I thought it was the 1942 coins that were steel. It's the 1943?

Russ, NCNE

JxnBoy · January 18, 2004 9:24AM

Get a magnet to that thing!

Boom · January 18, 2004 9:29AM

Weak! Russ is just playing with your heads! We could all stand a good laugh! Thanks Russ, I was a little down (don't know why) but I'm all better now. Laughter is good medicine!. I put mine up here once by sheer luck because I don't know how I did it!

HEY where is that little "fru fru" icon-as you described it. The Kennedy is more you Russ! I must say!

JxnBoy · January 18, 2004 9:29AM

On second thought. Just spend it. I think I hear some chains rattling.

wjd283 · January 18, 2004 9:29AM

Russ,are you serious or just jerking our chain?If your serious,every copper coated steel cent I've seen looks similar to this.If you're jerking our chain then

Russ · January 18, 2004 9:34AM

I'm new and still learning, so there's a lot of stuff I don't know yet. I thought $1100 was a little stiff for the coin, but the dealer I bought it from looked trustworthy and he told me it might be the best purchase I ever made. If they are that rare, maybe he was right.

You should fly down to the next F.U.N. Show, alert the media and have them there when you have it authenticated.

Louis · January 18, 2004 9:45AM

Looks like an accented hair copper 1943 Lincoln, very rare.

wingedliberty · January 18, 2004 9:50AM

Next thing you know, we'll hear about Russ on the Paul Harvery Radio Show and how he left in tears after spending his last $200 on Travelocity for the plane ticket to Orlando.

Russ · January 18, 2004 9:55AM

Man, tough crowd around here.

I'd rather see him run out of the show crying

nankraut · January 18, 2004 10:30AM

Russ: I gotta meet you some time. You must be a RIOT!

Shamika · January 18, 2004 11:21AM

Okay Russ, out with it! What's the real story with this fake.

Russ · January 18, 2004 11:26AM

<< What's the real story with this fake. >>

It's fake? Geez, you could have told me that before I put in a call to David Hall.

Russ, NCNE

XpipedreamR · January 18, 2004 11:34AM

I never realized what a great straight man Russ could play!

On second thought, Russ, maybe you had better not quit your day job quite yet!

mozeppa · January 18, 2004 11:47AM

Is mine a fake too?

FatMan · January 18, 2004 11:58AM

Holy Cow! Two copper 1943 cents go public on the same day. And since it's on the PCGS Forum it must be true. Way to go guys.

Thanks for the laugh Russ.

foodude · January 18, 2004 12:03PM

Russ please report back when you land a '74 aluminum Lincoln

Russ · March 28, 2004 6:44AM

Well, PCGS bodybagged it.

Russ, NCNE

morganbarber · March 28, 2004 7:57AM

Bodybagged it for the PVC?

Russ · March 28, 2004 7:59AM

<< Bodybagged it for the PVC? >>

Yeah. I'll send it off to NCS and see if they can help.

Russ, NCNE
