There's no way to give an opinion without a little further information. What does it weigh, and does it stick to a mangnet?

 

Too light to be authentic.

 

here is a way to tell, take a magnet to it. put a cloth between the magnet and coin just in case it may be real

 

1943 steel penny, can stick to a magnet, and they weigh decidedly less than their copper counterparts, at 2.70 grams versus 3.11 grams. I'd compare the weight to another wheat cent in the same condition and a steel cent since your scale might be off.

 

It is fake. The 3 is wrong, the tail on the 4 is too long, the wheats are rounded on their tops, among other things.

 

is that your coin?

 

Yes its mine. A magnet does not stick to it

 

Could all that be due to the dirt,wear,and the fact that the steel is really clean the light could shine on it differently? Just thoughts here. This is the first one I have ever found. SO a bit awe struck here..

 

it weighs 2.93 grams

 

yes

No!

 

Yes

 

I hope so lol

 

I weighed other wheats and they varied on the weight. so I was unsure

 

Any votes for an altered 1947?

 

I'm thinking it's an altered 1948D.

nice coin rim's cents

 

That is not an altered anything. It is 100% counterfeit everything. Both the weight and the wheats show that the slug was never any coin.

 

True, but that 3 sure is sloppy!
