1943 "Steelie" Different Effigy? Rare?

[mmmikey64]

I would like to show this coin and see if I could get some help on if the coin is rare or not. There are two different effigies and I am confused as to why. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

The one you wanna find is the 43 COPPER.

Worth anywhere from 50k - 100k... perhaps more.

 

[mmmikey64]

Yes, I know of the coin but are ther two different effigies for the 1943 steel? if you look closely I have two different 43' steel cents

 

[Crispin]

What are you asking for the whole lot of wheat pennies?

 

[mmmikey64]

Well, I have about a roll from this particular find. What would it be worth to you? I do know that this 36' could be quite the rarity and I do have some other possible wheats to consider. I am a modest guy.

 

[Crispin]

How many wheats you got in total?

 

[mmmikey64]

about 50

everyone seems to be ignoring your Question

What do you mean " effigies " ?

I see a 43 Plain from Philadelphia
and a 43 S from San Fransisco with a bit more wear on details

this is not a for sale add people & he is not a Charter member.
this thread is in What is it

 

[mmmikey64]

Well, The Die of the coin. If you look into detail of these two steels, there are differences; they are small differences but in fact different

 

[Crispin]

I think the coin is very rare. I've never seen anything like it.

Mike
I see you have two diff.looking heads on the "steelie" the Red Book says nothing about two separate heads.

Me either, I would like to recooperate a good investment and leave some to the buyer; however much that may be

 

[mmmikey64]

Thanks Gary, I appreciate the info. Yeah, I really didnt know of two seperate heads myself. The second head, philidelphia, seems to have more of a stout look

 

[Crispin]

I think you should invest in a charter membership...it has benefits.

 

[mmmikey64]

I will look into it. Thanks

 

[jeff of pa]

I think the San francisco coin just has a bit more Rubbing wear on the front of his face.

Although there is a Minute chance the Die could have been the blame, I doubt it.

 

[mmmikey64]

I looked into a complete die of the 1943 steel and without wear; there are differences. thanks for the response

DDDDID YOU SAY 100K? MAN TOMORROW IM GONNA HAVE WHEATS FOR BREAKFAST.

I see what you are seeing! However, there are not two different effigies or images of Lincoln. All of the Master Dies for all of the Mints were made at the Philadelphia Mint and what you are seeing are the effects of Die Deterioration, Die Polishing and Grinding that has caused the differences in the Dies. If the differences in Lincoln's image on the two coins were a result of planned changes to the Dies as in the Master Dies, then one or both could be considered a Die Variety. However, I know of no changes made to the Dies during the 1943 production year.

Looks like normal wear....one was just handled more than the other? We have searched a lot of these and just depending on the handling and circulation, tends to make them all look a little different. But then again, ya never really know what go's on in the US Mint!!!
