43 steel penny

[dirtscratcher]

44 and a 43 in the same hole. I think it is pretty cool but I'm easily impressed.

Forgot pics.

 

[jewelerguy]

cool. the last time I found one, it had been reduced to flaky layers of rust

This one is worse looking in person. I could be wrong but I don't think so.

Nice to see some found in the wild. Congrats! I got many rolls of them but then again my wheats are almost 10,000 strong..

 

[Scrappy]

Don't see many dug. Cool

Um... Is that 43 made of copper ?? ?? ??. ?
Is the 43 magnetic ?

If not magnetic ...... you just hit a serious payday...
AND...
44 steel is worth SERIOUS bucks as well,.

44 steels are rare worth a little cha-ching, but that 44 looks to be copper

The 44 is copper but the other is steel a steel penny so I'm sure it's a 43.

Um... Is that 43 a bronze. ?
Is the 43 magnetic ?

If not... you just hit a serious payday...

It's steel and in really bad shape.

I wasn't representing the 44 as steel it was in the same hole or I would have never dug the other. Sorry if it seemed otherwise.

No prob... Was just "wishful thinking" FOR you... heh :P

Nice finds, I pulled a pair of '43 steels from under a tree, they were in good shape, I lucked out.

 

[basque-man]

Cool digs. I wonder how many we have walked over the past year where we have pulled not less than 200 wheats!!!! Don't think I could handle the disappointment in seeing a destroyed coin....

 

[testing123]

the only '43 I've found was in the same hole as another wheat cent. Only way I got it was due to the pinpointer...it was just a rusted round object. So, guess I'm just assuming it was a '43

surprised that survived in the ground, very cool. Although I would think the condition would greatly reduce the numismatic value, doesn't make it any less cool though

I'm sure it isn't worth a penny. I think I could break it easily.
