    I would need better pics to tell for sure but it looks real to me. It’s a circulated 1943 steel cent and the value is really nothing special unless it’s a variety coin.

    There is no way anyone can tell anything about authenticity from that picture.

    Yes, it is a real 2x2, with a bad staple job that isn't going to end well for any other coins stored with it.

    Anything beyond that is not a serious question given the photo....

    The staples and ink look real. No comment regarding anything else.

    It is probably as real as Dolly Parton's hair color and bust.

    ....real or fake what???

    If it's steel color, it's real

    If it's copper color, it's fake.

    This isn't a serious inquiry is it? How can anyone tell from that picture?

    There should be a FILTER to stop nonsense.

    A stupid filter would probably hurt the telecommunications/broadband market as more than half of internet users and probably two-thirds of internet content would probably disappear.

    Real rust?

  • 291fifth291fifth Posts: 24,841 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The 2x2 holder and the staples are real!

    All glory is fleeting.

    The filter is to ignore them. There is another one with a close-ups of a bunch corroded, low grade coins that are all doubled dies. Maybe this is a summer prank for some kids who are out of school and bored.
