That's an awesome find!!! Was that pulled from circ silver???
Congratulations! I would love to own one.
Sweet!
Would be cool if PCGS designated it as the discovery coin!
Nice find!
This thread did not disappoint. COOL.
That is really awesome!
Alright,alright. Great discovery.
Very nice! Will it be as popular as a 43 bronze cent since it is not as obvious? Good job on your find!
I wonder if they found it on the floor and put it back in.. spring cleaning...
Cool

Congratulations!

Most likely struck on a planchet made for a foreign coin.
Great find!
No struck on a regular nickel planchet
A great find.
Should be front-page Coin World stuff.
Great work!
Super!
DUDE !

I agree. Didn't the U.S. government strike coins for the Philippines around this time? Were any of those made of copper nickel?
Not the same size and competition as a regular pre silver nickel
They did but were smaller and had some zinc in them. Take some searching but there's a good chance they US struck a nickel coin for another country at the time.
Cant find a 1943 certified but found a 44

Looks like it's time to zap that bucket of war nickels with the spectrometer.
Nice find.
