Are there any 1943 cents struck on 1942 or 1944 cents?

I don't just mean having been struck on copper or the "shell case" alloy... I mean a 1943 cents struck on an already struck 1942 or 1944 cent.

    I could see on a 42 but how could that happen with a 44 ?

    It would seem there would be a possibility that a 42 might get in the bin and get struck by a 43, but I don't see how a 44 could.

    Never heard of one, and I once did an article on the 1943 & 1944 off-metal cents for one of the ANS's "Coinage of the Americas" conference.

    Most errors are 43-P and 43-S... Denvers are uber scarce.

    There's 1943 broadstrikes, and off centers, double strikes, and one triple struck, struck on sliver dime planchets, and struck on Cuban planchets.

    I know of none of what you questioning... and then there's this the coolest 1943 Mint Error a Double Denomination 11 cent'r.

    looking back to 1943 who would have believed you could buy a german luxery sedan for a cent... and not even an MS70 one at that

    OK maybe the price comparison to luxury automobiles was not great for answering how much... lets just say heavy 5 figures, but under 6. image

    A mysterious ghost from our past has asked me to mention that there are some fakes known wherein somebody made a fake set of 1943 dies, perhaps using the impact method from the steel coins, and used them to falsely overstrike genuine 1942 cents.
