posted in our Facebook group so stay tuned this is Daniel and you are watching coin helped you and even though most 1943 Lincoln still cents are not worth a bunch of money there are some that you need to be looking for and we're going to look at those and I'm going to share with you something that somebody discovered and they sent it off the PCGS and they got a little surprise so please like share comment and let's get started here's a 1943 Lincoln Cent that was shared and our group like I posted an image of it he said it didn't weigh right didn't sound right and did stick to a magnet he sent it off the PCGS and you know it looked a little bit rough but they gave it a a you 53 and it's actually struck on a silver plant ship so he found a 1943 I think he was looking through a collection and realized that it was different you know these coins like this sell for two to four thousand dollars now a little bit of a background the nineteen forty three cents or struck on steel planets that's what they're supposed to be struck one most of them are not gonna be worth a lot of money here's an example here's three of them all three P D and s so you had Philadelphia Mint no mint mark San Francisco mint with an estimate mark and the Denver Mint with a D mint mark and the mint mark is right under the date as you can see here it's a deed right here and the S will also be there now when you're looking at these as you see I have this option pulled up this is Heritage all three of these sold for 84 dollars okay meaning they're just this not a lot of value to these and mint state 66 it doesn't mean there's not some that aren't valuable and we're gonna look at some of those first I'm going to show you a 1943 Philadelphia Mint that great admit state 68 by PCGS it's sold for fifteen hundred and sixty dollars with the buyers premium you know these coins sometimes they look like they're perfect this coin graded sixty-eight obviously seventy is the highest graded that you can attain and it sold for fifteen sixty if this was an S or a D it would have sold for a little bit more but it's very difficult to get this grade but you can look through uncirculated rolls maybe even try a bulk submission NGC and maybe get the great here's a 1943 this our five piece set of cents on experimental planets back in 43 and 42 and this error they were actually striking coins trying out different types of metals and alloys and things for coins this is an example of a set that sold that was on experimental pledges and it kind of gives you an idea here if we can get in closer and we're looking at you know all these tests you've got the zinc plated you've got the coated steel you've got you know copper plated just different things that they were trying you know and obviously a set like this is twelve grand is what it sold for recently you know but if you just found one of these or just something experimental that was kind of odd ball in your 1943 a lot of people hoarded in 1943 so to find bags of them is not unheard of finding uncirculated rolls a little more difficult and not only that I did do a video on repurposed 1943 cents where they replated them those actually are hurt or damaged coins and it does hurt the value here's another 1943 and I consent it has an author's in depth okay this is a myth air this coin here whenever a plant you got it to the coining chamber maybe this coin wasn't ejected and it got struck through that way and it sold for one hundred and eighty dollars here's a 1943 this was struck when uh Netherlands twenty-five cent planchet you know the US Mint has struck coins for other countries and one other planets from the Netherlands got stuck in one of the bins and actually got put in with the 1943 Lincoln Cent this sold 24,000 here's a 1943 sent struck on a dime planchette au 55 we just talked about this struck a silver planchet this is actually a Mercury dime planchet did accidentally gun it to the coining chamber with a 1943 lincoln santa dies and was struck three thousand three hundred and sixty dollars if you find one of these here's another a double curved clips i'll see these are myth errors okay when you find things like this you know they do have a little bit of a value to them it's also gonna be dependent on the grade Distan graded mint state 63 and you have to watch people cut coins people will take coins and put them in a grinders and they'll try different things to make air so you want to make sure it's better off have them certified there's no sold for three hundred and five dollars it would be worth sending off to have graded at that point you might have sixty or seventy dollars in it but you're still gonna make some money if you don't have a whole lot in the coin in the first place and you have a 1943 double struck in collar this is going to confuse a lot of people because you're looking for a coin that is double struck okay you're gonna have damage on the coin but you're seeing the double struck area right here so what basically it didn't deject from the coining chamber and actually fell back in and rotated around and was struck again so therefore you see that area there on the coin the dates right down here that can't happen but it actually actually needs to look raised and it has to look similar to in the same shape and font as the regular date on them so this one here was sent off and it actually sold for four hundred and seventy dollars it graded extra fine forty if you find an uncirculated example it'll be worth more here's a 1943 again struck on a silver dime planchet this one's a you fifty it looks a little bit better and it's in a PCGS secure that's why it sells for more five thousand two hundred eighty seven dollars this one here is a struck on a bronze planchet this is the one that everybody's looking for it went for three hundred and five thousand five hundred dollars of the buyer's premium you know this is a sight to behold coin like this there's so many fakes out there they can be plated in copper they can be actually struck counterfeit where someone takes a copper planchet and strikes it with fake dies with 1943 and you can find that kind of stuff on it Aliexpress online and other places you just really have to watch out here's one that struck on a verse truck through a dykon as you can see this and it creates kind of a rock edge look to it and that's something that definitely needs to be sent off and that's a mint error and it's two thousand four hundred and sixty seven dollars what you want to watch out for someone taking another still cent and put it on top of another one and hitting it with a sledgehammer or putting it in a vise at that point you're going to see an indent but it's actually not going to be mirrored like this and you really need to have it sent off and graded that way it's certified as the Met air that it is instead of trying to sell it raw and try to put it up on understand people don't want to send coins off how graded but this kind of coin need to be sent off so that it's verified of what it is this one here is actually a 40% off Center can't see these all that often it's another met air and at 40% off and it graded at mid state 62 it actually sold for one thousand four hundred and ten dollars so you know the varying degrees of off-center is gonna be worth more than others full having the date on the coin is very important for the values for these and being struck more off-center would be worth more less off-center you know when you get around 10% or less a lot of times the premiums just not there so then we want to also look at varieties now we just looked at errors and errors and varieties are different so we're looking at varieties here for the 1943 so the 1943 has actually two double dies and you know one double dies worth about this a little bit more than the other which is the FS 101 the FS 801 is not worth as much so anyways we can take a look at you know the double diamonds to look at the FS 101 here and when you're you're looking at double dies you're actually going to look for a little bit more of a thickness and the letters and the date and whenever you see a plated a replated version of the 1943 cent it will look like there's doubled areas all over the coin and it's not okay the plating kind of pulls up around it and it's not actually a double die so you want to identify these you want to get get in and compare it to actual image of a double die and you've got one right here you can blow it up and you can actually compare it to it and you'll see the difference you won't see a bunch of run lines and different things around the date and in other areas of the coin that you would see with a coin that's replated then you have the 1943's it has a double die as well and like I said if we go back here we can look at the values on coin faxes PCGS coin fax you can see what they're worth there's a double die for the 43s and once you get in and you look at this one here you can kind of get an idea where the double is at you always want looking for larger design features that are thicker some little split and the seraphs and it's all going to depend on which class the double die you're looking at here and that goes for all coins you know the general idea then you also have a 43 D over D which is an RPM this one here is pretty popular and it's actually pretty obvious once you find it what you want to be careful for those like I said the replating can make it look like it is a reproach MIT mark when it's not and here's another example whenever you're looking at values for these this one sold for 19 this one sold for 14950 dollars and the reason is because it was great at mint state 67 that makes a big difference in value this one sold for 19 now it's probably worth a little bit more than that now this was sold a little bit in the past but the point of it is is that the higher the grade the more it's gonna be worth and grade does have a big factor in how much a coin is actually going to sell for so hope that opened her eyes a little bit to the 1943 and Lincoln cents don't forget to look at my replayed in 1943 video to kind of get an idea what that looks like please like share and comment on my video and pick that little bell beside the subscribe button and have a great day
