At 1st glance it looks like just a rusty steel penny but there's a whole lot going on with this coin. Errors love some feedback please😊

    There is no such thing as a 1943/2-D steel cent.
    The term that you are hunting for is pareidolia.

    I know there is no such thing as a 1943/2 D steel cent. 🤣

    Right, so like I said the correct answer is pareidolia.

    If it were a 1943 car I'd say put some rust inhibitor on it and a clear coat.
    It's call patina.
    I've also heard people buy paint, so your call :)
    It may just be a little too ruff and a spender at this point.

    Arguing in a sewer coin thread? Hell of a way to get barred.

    Really you are calling the op a liar, shame on you. :D

    Human error, but he didn't want to go THERE.

    The OP joined in 2018, but resurfaced this weekend with a "gold" nickel and now this. I'm not convinced this isn't an alt/troll account.

    OK. I'm sorry for my posts about the "gold Nickel". After this thread, I'm convinced the scale was off and the coin did not weigh 5.9 gms!

    Make sure you wash your hands good after handling that coin.

    At this point that "coin" deserves a dilute nitric acid bath. ;)

    Why would @Married2Coins be sorry for @trish53172's posts about the gold nickel unless it was an alt/troll account? I think they got mixed up and used the wrong account to respond.

    No, they're apologizing for defending the OP in the gold thread. They're now on board with understanding she/he is just trolling the forum. That's my take anyway.

    Asking about this corroded coin (an honest question from a beginner) might cause further doubts about things she posted (gold nickel) and her skills as a collector. One member here posted she was on the level - a budding collector. Although it is not a gold planchet, I believed her nickel might be something good because there was a gold streak INTO THE COIN that did not disolve in acid and her coin was overweight. Then after seeing the cent and her comments, I made a joke that her scale may be off for the benefits of the members who didn't like the nickel. I hope she sends the nickel to PCGS. I would not waste time on the cent.

    I don't think Trish is a troll.

    @Manifest_Destiny, I think you may be right. After all the other shenanigans this weekend I had some preconceived notions and I may have misinterpreted @Married2Coins' post.

    @Married2Coins I apologize for thinking you were an alt and trying to out you on the boards. I am sorry for any problems it may have caused.

    LOL, Thanks. Last question on this corroded cent thread: That means you thought Trish and I were the same person - right? Has that ever been done?

    Yes and yes, it was done this past Friday/weekend.
