1943 Copper Penny A Fake?

Monday 12 November 2007 @ 9:46 pm

I saw this in the complete items section of Ebay…my dad being the avid coin collector for years as he was, said it had to be a fake, because there were NO coins maid out of copper in 1943 (just the Zinc ones) due to World War 2 using all the metal

Here is the Completed Listing 

I think someone got “Taken” to the cleaners on this one…but look how much it sold for.

And it looks like a piece of crap. Just a picture of a roughed up looking coin, looks like the 3 was altered.

So what do you think, FAKE or REAL?

Plastic re-sealable bags or “flips” is a good storage choice because they let you see the coin without removing it from the cover. Mylar-lined cardboard sleeves (usually 2″x2″) are similar to plastic flips and are a good way to store and package coins for shipment.   Cardboard or plastic coin albums are great for storing a series of coins related to a particular country or theme.
