Not sure but the bubbles are in play some way. But they look like wash and no dry solvent. Look for gas bubbles. A GUESS
The VDB belongs there and the dark spots on the coin are areas starting to corrode. I see nothing unusual about the coin. Thanks for posting.
Why the tag “goldbully”?

I don’t know where that come from. That was someone else and I didn’t know what I was doing. Sorry
You should post your photos in this thread or make a new one. It is considered rude to hijack other threads asking questions about your coins.
Today was my first time here

No problem & welcome. I was just trying to help.
I’ve got a lot to learn.
Everyone was new at one point. Hang in there.
@Lyndag.....Welcome aboard... You will learn quickly.... As you do learn, have fun.. this is a great forum with many knowledgeable contributors. Cheers, RickO
What I see is that the Obverse is clearly much larger than the reverse. A Stunning and no doubt Unique Coin, it suggest immediately sent in to be verified and graded!! Wow! How will they devise a holder for this new “Enlarged Obverse” variety! •••••. (All that aside welcome to the Meatgrinder)
Thank you. Since I’m new I was hoping that someone would have a comment before I just start sending stuff in.
Don't start "sending stuff in" before you know what you are doing. You can waste a great deal of money having essentially worthless coins authenticated and graded. Learn before spending.
@2@1fifth Yes I’ve been reading some stuff this morning. I can see where I may have started off posting pictures last night. I apologize for that. And I’ll never be offended by constructive criticism. I’m tough. Lol I appreciate the guidance from all who give it.
Seriously...it’s just a plain penny.
Go out and buy "The Red Book of US Coins". Worth the $10. Read from cover to cover and you will answer most of your own questions.
welcome,
bob
Actually, just read the introduction in the Red Book. Then read about how coins are made from several sources. Then read the introduction in the ANA's Grading Guide.
As mentioned previously and in the other thread. Get the book(s). Also, get the Cherrpickers’ Guide, too. Knowledge is key.
Where would you be “sending stuff in?” This is a curious statement.
It's a trap. Don't go into the creepy basement. Don't go hide in the falling down barn. Don't use any initials other than C G P or S.

I’m not sending anything til I learn a little bit more about coins. I mainly signed up with PCGS because my son said it was a trustworthy company.
Good idea! Learn a lot more about coins...
What coins does your son collect?
From the picture, I'd say that is pretty much the norm for the quality of circulating coins the Philly Mint puts out these days............
What color would you consider this coin to be. I have another but it looks very grayish charcoal in color. Thanks
Being a 43 cent my guess is its steel (check with magnet) If not, cant really give a solid answer, must have in hand. lighting plays tricks also different screens, ETC
@emeraldATV magnet doesn’t stick to the grayish 43 but it’s a flat pastry color. Cool be a steel. Not certain. This one pictured is more light brown
I checked. A magnet does stick to the dark gray one but not the other. Do you think I should eventually send it in to be graded
My guess is you have something there. Non magnetic is a 43 cent? Google 1943 Cent watch videos but use your own judgement. no ebay ,the people here will guide you, but again use your own head. Do not rush in to your actions. Collecting can be a starting place.
@emeraldATV thank you
Cool!
@Lyndag if you have basic 101 coin questions, I would drive down to the local coin store, or get on eBay and get yourself a copy of what is called the redbook. It is a small handy book that answers all basic coin questions and has great photos. Everyone here at 1x probably had a redbook, and might still do. They put one out every yr. 2019 is certainly out and they run about $15 or less.
Good luck and welcome to the boards.
Later, Paul.
As I found out last night. I didn’t realize that I somehow had tried to upload a picture and somehow selected more than just the one and had posted quite a few. It was my first attempt. But it was funny reading all the comments about that guy who was trolling. Lol. Just me the newbie. Glad I wasn’t in a room with them or I’d have been stoned to death b
Na . The people here are in, for the gain of knowledge . Always remember, no question is a stupid question. don't be shy to show your interest.
@Lyndag
Glad your enjoying the hobby. To enhance the experience get the US Coin Book and Cherrypicker’s Guide.
