I am looking for other opinoin's on my Challenge post about the 1944/43 Overdate, The Images seem to show that it's not only an overdate, but that it started out as a 1943 Mercury dime, At K-5 in the corner of lincoln's jacket, you can see a small but visible 43, I sent the coin to my3cents, Who should have received it already, But please look at the pics's a little closer and remember, Keep an open mind , This really does make sense, The mint did not make 1943 dime's in 1944, and the small 43 in the area pic included struck on a 1944 Lincoln, only proves that the cent is an overdate, look at the coin and see what you think.

I smoke Marlboro Red 100's in the box? I don't use drugs, and if you looked at the picture's you would see what i mean, Engage your brain, Before you start your tounge. And never let your mouth write a check your Buttock's can't cash.

Tell us what that means. What are you saying?
In what order would this happen at the mint?
How could this happen? Please tell us what your thinking.
It's highly unlikely this started out in life as a dime.
You see, dimes are made of silver, and this is obviously a shellcase salvage copper cent. You can't turn silver into copper.
Starting life as a dime isn't getting you any closer to reality than your saying it started out as a 1943 cent, which was made of steel.
You can't turn steel into copper either.
Also, as it is a cent, it couldn't have been struck by dime dies if that's what you are thinking. The cent is a larger coin and the planchet would not have fit in a dime collar. In the unlikely event it was forced into a dime collar, then reeding would still be evident as well.
It appears as others have said, that there may be a loss of detail in the last numeral due most likely to a grease filled die. This isn't unusual, and adds nothing to the value of a common wheat cent.
Be best if you drop this in one of those "take a penny, leave a penny" styrofoam cups in a convenience store.

I agree with the others that this is most likely a filled die.
I hope for you that this turns out to be something different. It would be quite the find.
Oh come on !!! ?? What the heck is this a picture of ?

Byter's being the key word.
For the third time we have been suckered into a thread
that is nothing but bait and pure garbage.
I can't explain how it would be struck as a Mercury dime on the Copper/Bronze planchet.
I also can't explain the 43 struck in the corner of Lincoln's Jacket.
Nor can i explain the face that appears on the bust of Lincoln.
The only thing i can explain is that this is definitely unusual. Go Figure?
And the Niter's Byters wasn't meant to imply anything, other than Good night Computer User's.

So it's nice to see a fellow Arkansan on the forum, but ozzysdad, I just don't see it.
