How much is this worth and what would you ,Orville and Russ,grade it

Boom · November 28, 2003 9:05PM

OK Orville and Russ.suppose you both tell me what this grades and it's approximate value!

oreville · November 28, 2003 9:28PM

Boom: I see a 1943......but the date does not look right........an altered date 1948 copper cent in your link (?)........is what you want us to grade and place a value on?

Grade? Better than an AU but I can't make out if there is any luster on the coin.

Value? Tough one.

I think if you enlarge it you willsee that it is a copper 43

Take a good ,long hard look at that 3 . Maybe make a copy of it if it helps and enlarge it.

Oreville......Oreville....you're not chickening out on me now are you!?

The coin is surely a copper coated 1943 cent. You can even see where the copper is worn off.....Ken

Thanks boom, I did not realize there was a larger version. That was SMALL before!

That is a 1943 date but it looks coated to me as I see no luster and the lettering is showing signs of color differences.

But I can't be sure on autenticity.

By the way, I am posting the reverse of that $20 for you in that other post as I finally found it.

Ditto Ken

Boom: I finally got the reverse of the $20 posted for you in that other post. I thopught you wanted to test our grading skills not our authenticity checking skills.

It's not genuine... and the picture is far too compressed to reach a grade, regardless...

Is it attracted by a magnet?

OK, Here goes, the coin is probably a 58 and worth 90K?
What did I win? Guessing the peeling is a diagnostic?

Cant tell for sure from the picture, is it slabbed? If not,one would have to wonder why not on such a mega coin like that if it is real.

Edit added: After posting above started wondering on the total graded pops for the bronze 43-P
PCGS 04/2002=0, NCG 04/2002=7, ANACS 08/2003=2

Are you ever going to tell us what the deal is?

Boom...if this coin is in your possession, put a magnet to it.

Boom · December 1, 2003 7:46PM

To my preceding three Numismatic Brethren,starting with question #!- Islemangu...It's not slabbed #2 Rusty...No, I won't! And #3 My pal-Razorface- Yes, I've conducted the magnet test! It doesn,t stick to a magnet! That ought to just about answer your question,Rusty(Billiardmaster) and Mr. Perry and my boy,airplanenut....WRONG!!!
