We all dig our share (and sometimes more) trash, but when the silver shows up......it makes all the sore necks and trash worth the effort. Congrats on the finds. :thumbsup:

If I read this right and my eyes don't deceive me you said you found a 1943 copper wheat? Please if you can send a picture of the face of the coin with the date showing. If it is what I hope it is, for your sake you have the find of a lifetime!

See if that '43 wheat sticks to a magnet...if it doesn't you got a real gem there.

izzitcat · May 23, 2008

Savant365 is right, all but a very few '43s' were made of steel because of WWII. Copper was at a premium because they used it for shell casings and wire. If it is a 1943 copper get it verified by a numismatist. We're probably talking over a million here maybe more!

Bummer...I was hoping you had a good retirement plan there. Keep looking, you never know what you might find out there :happy3:

I've been watching to see how the 43 turned out. Sorry to see that it wasn't a 43 after all, bummer!

izzitcat · May 23, 2008
