Is there any way to tell a real copper 1943 lincoln other than using a magnet?

In Rochester, I would check with Ira Stein. He knows his Lincolns. He reads these boards from time to time and on Ebay is iras4.

<< <i>How much would you pay on a coin that someone was selling raw without knowing if the coin was genuine? Just the persons word. I have a little over 50k but would have to pull strings to get it but can do it. Though may not have to go that high at all. 100% guarantee and return policy. >>
I would pay one cent. No, I'm not kidding. Under the circumstances you mention, I believe the odds of it being real about about as good as winning the Powerball lottery.
Do you know the seller personally? Have you asked him why he hasn't submitted it for authentication?
Don't let greed and the dollar signs flashing in front of your eyes get the best of you.
You can't gain that type of knowledge any other way.
I could probably tell you if it's real but that would just be my opinion and my word.
That's not good enough for a coin of this value.
If the seller is giving you his word, he must know coins.
I would think he would also know that it must be sent in for authentication.

The problem is that when you find out it's a fake and email the seller about the return, you will never hear back from him.
Do not get burned!!!

The chances of that being real are zero...
BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Genuine 1943 Copper Cents will show some zinc residue on the coin, because it was struck from dies that were striking zinc-coated steel planchets.
The zinc residue usually shows up near the raised areas of the coin near the field, but can also show up in the field.
I can't see any residue on the questioned coin.
Hope this helps.
