I literally spit out my coffee when I read this: 1943 wheat penny :laughing7:

"i was walking down the street the other day and i happened across a 1943 wheat penny. i checked online and it says its worth money.. im not really sure that i believe that some stupid copper wheat penny from 1943 is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars but hey if thats what they say, then im going to at least try to sell it and get some money. Im asking 10,000.00 for it. it said in poor condition the thing is worth over 50k. Something about some type of error that year in the mint and they are extremely rare? i dont know. I also have a couple other wheat pennies at home one from 1953, 1957, and 1958 which i think are worth around .20 each. so if someone wants to buy them or just the "rare" one from 1943 shoot me an email. ill be happy to send pics. thanks."

Man, this guy really knows how to draw in those customers. I know I shouldn't buy, but I feel so compelled. :laughing7: " im not really sure that i believe that some stupid copper wheat penny from 1943 is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars but hey if thats what they say, then im going to at least try to sell it and get some money."

If it's on CraigsList it has to be legit, right? Everyone knows the only place you are ever going to find a 1943 copper in laying on the street.

Yeah wouldn't it be nice we all found 1943 copper cents just 'laying on the sidewalk'. hence why I don't like to buy from Craigslist or Ebay. Just too much fraud now in days.

Sincerely, GarouLady

What's unusual about that? I find '43 copper cents all the time. I find so many of them I used to just skip them across the river like rocks but now I don't even bother to pick them up any more. I did however once find 3 or 4 that were made out of solid gold. I don't know what they're worth but if someone here wanted to give me, say, $100,000 for one of them I think that'd be fair. Hit me up on a PM.

I also have two '64 Peace dollars, one in the standard Silver and a second example made out of uranium, a 1914 V nickel (way rarer than the common 1913 version) graded PF71, I have a '59 Kennedy Half, an 1805 Dollar, and the 2nd, lesser known 1849 Double Eagle. They're all for sale.

Oh man, just gotta have that '43 Copper. After all, once I found the Beale treasure (don't tell anyone), I can swap him some of the gold from that. That wheat would be far nicer!

Hahaha. :laughing7: He's probably one of THE most honest (dumbest) sellers on CL. I love how HE'S not even sure if it's worth $10,000, but yet he's willing to give it a shot. It's like saying, "I found a rock that I think is a diamond but am not sure. But if you're willing to pay me $50,000, I'll sell it to you as a diamond."

I found 2 of them CRHing this year alone, one still has some mint luster the other is a nice Chocolate brown.
Last year I found one that was mistakenly produced on a GOLD planchet.

Only trouble is, the all seem to stick to a magnet????
Must be a unique property of the Cu (and Au) penny/cent mint errors from 1943, what a coincidence!?!

Since I have so many, I'll put mine up on CL for $75K for the Cu, but that Au one has got to go for Half a Mill. at least. The last time I even heard about a Gold 1943 was back in '74 when I was in New York and a nice fellow offered to sell one of those bridges.
