Why Coin Dealers HATE 1943 Pennies!

[@CoinHELPu]

My coin shop website portsmouthcoinshop.com

[@francisthegrey3055]

I have a question. If I sent you some pictures of the 1943 S steel pennies I have would you be able to see if they're replated? I'm not so good at being able to tell unfortunately...

[@Sharon-rv1qn]

I have all 3 mints pennys from 1943 steel pennys

[@frederickreyesjr6289]

I feel like this coin is best for youth or beginners I personally own hundreds of these bought for under 5 cents a piece sell for me around 10 cents at yard sale flea market and auctions alike LOVE YOUR VIDEOS !!

[@dougm.370]

Also keep in mind you finding a 1943 Copper or a 1944 Steel from any mint has the same odds as getting stuck by lightening while being in a shark attack and it's even rarer to find a experimental planchet example. You also have to remember people and collectors have been looking for these Unicorn coins for 76 years but good luck. :)

[@coreymerrill3257]

The grey color is galvanizing , a zinc coating like on guard rails on the side of roads. Used for the same reasons. To prevent weathering /oxidation. Always super good content.

[@8avexp]

I bought a set of three uncirculated steel cents back in 1966. Still have them and they haven't rusted.

[@paulbegansky5650]

I completely agree with the video, tough coin. My best one, the obverse is gorgeous but the reverse has a rust spot. Oh well.

[@thebrainreigns1858]

1943 cent as Paul Harvey would say and now you know the rest of the story, your videos are complete, great job Daniel.

[@RealAntek]

Is that Steve Harvey’s dad

[@paulkeinrath3252]

I love them, I was 11 or 12 when I 1st seen one I was like that is so cool I still remember the excitement and that's what got me into coin collecting.

[@phillipthiebjord]

👍Thanks for all that you do for the coin community Daniel. It is much appreciated!🙂

[@frankchase9297]

All you ever wanted to know about steel pennies. Thanks buddy!

[@shanedaniel7]

I am going to try to pick up a PCGS MS65 of one someday. I love how unique they are!

[@paulkeinrath3252]

go for a 66 or 67 still relatively cheap but a 68 is out of the question.

[@karlskoins]

Thank you for continually putting out great videos full of really useful information. Cheers!

[@anthonypautin]

Thank you for sharing! alot of cool knowledge to know!

[@rosebud3971]

Daniel, Great CLARIFICATION! Thanks.

[@conradpons9238]

Good topic for today's lesson, I have a few BU's, I have not seen a plated one yet, maybe you could show us one someday if, you can get one. Good video my man !✌😎

[@michaelleftwich8186]

I've got 4 of them, 2-p's- 1D- and 1S. All uncirculated. One of the P's is real shiny looking.

[@appalachianoutlawcoins9523]

Well now i know the really nice lookin steel cent i have is probably plated lol

[@simplysteve68]

Or replated, as he stated. They were originally zinc plated or coated, then sometime later were replated.

[@wandlbaker]

My only "fake" coin is a 1944 that has been plated to look like a steel coin. Not magnetic but still a fun addition to my collection - CLEARLY LABELS AS FAKE.

[@Sharon-rv1qn]

I have all 3 mints from 1943 steel

[@MrRanman91]

just ordered some more stuff.....always great to get stuff from your shop!!

[@CoinHELPu]

Thank you!

[@Car1Sagan]

Zinc plated at the mint or post-mint?

[@dewaynemancell4562]

I really liked the video. It help me, when did they start replating the 43 penny

[@DanGalletti]

The replated ones look so good. Lol

[@tba6403]

not without luster

[@MrJackHackney]

The steel cents are probably the most widely collected US coins of all time.

[@CoinHELPu]

[@toddfondakowski6119]

I just opened up a full 50 Cent war of mint 1943 zinc what he did pennies half of them are double dice summer Philadelphia in summer Denver which is the best way I should have them graded. I’ve already brought them to the coin dealer in my local area 81-year-old man went through every one of my coins and said I had some serious machine doubling on a lot of my Queens New York brown condition picked up four of the best ones that I should have sent in all these serious money coins if the whole fronts are doubled? Can you please reply back what you think

[@jrpcoins]

I found a 43 that looks like it's missing the zinc coating on the back. Looks like a giant milk spot and is not extremely shinny like when you plate them? So can the zinc coating wear off

[@gregorymccoy4308]

I was going through my dansco and realized that my 43d was a ddo-002.Not much of a spread but its nice to have a B/u example in my collection though.

[@CoinsandMore22]

Thanks this was very helpful I have 4 of these that don't look nearly as good as the ones shown

[@stevensenlacere1619]

i got a 'real deal' 1943 copper cent from a family owned convenience store back in the 70s. not plated does not stick to a magnet. its in my safe deposit box my insurance policy. its not perfect but i doubt i'd have a problem selling it. has a little ding above the wheat stalks. after seeing one on ebay for a million dollars and mine looked better i decided to let mine to live its life in my box. i'd love to have a 1944 steel to go with it. just checked ebay, nothing but im betting etsy and wish have fakes for sale.

[@stevensenlacere1619]

@Angelo David Romano i woulddn't be *sending* anything like that anywhere but if PGCS does walk-in grading i might.

[@leannkennedy6568]

Glad I came across your channel. Thank you for sharing your information.

[@bmh67wa]

I never understood why people wasted their time plating steel pennies. They aren't worth much and it ruins what little value to a collector that they do have. You have a couple of beautiful Indian cents on your website. If I was rich they would be mine, especially that '09 S. 👍

[@stevensenlacere1619]

probably for those with a open slot in their albums

[@luisreyesgarcia6931]

Where can I get my dime graded? Its a 1943 D and it does not stick to the magnet, it looks gray looking so I don't know if its worth anything. Help! Thank you.

[@davidgarrison9823]

It doesn't stick to magnet because dimes up to 1964 were 90% silver.

[@onedayati]

Thanks.

[@dianerowe-uk3oy]

I know this video is 2 years old but I’m hoping to get a reply. I found a 1943D steel penny a couple days ago. It has a few errors on it. It has I think it’s called cud errors around the rim in 2 places. It also looks like it has double dying on the front and back I think it has several errors. Also it looks almost uncirculated. I could really use some help with this I could send you pictures please help if you can I would like to know if it would be worth money. Thank you Diane

[@swilliams937]

I totally agree, Dan!

[@fixedgearfever69]

I’ve got a few nice examples graded tough to find flawless.

[@craigbird7432]

I've run across a 1943 (no mint) but the 4 is missing from the date. You can still see a slight hint or ghost of the 4, but other than that it's in good shape. Something you could tell me about such an item?

[@CoinHELPu]

Its normal there's a bunch like this

[@onewithin1chava949]

I got five 1943 steal cents no copper but I like them just due to the fact they have steal I’d like to find a super clean steal 43 that be fun to search for

[@blake7587]

Before I watch this video I am going to take a guess that the reason people hate them is because people think they’re worth a fortune but they don’t have the right one.

[@jrene2187]

Anyone know something about 1943 penny that’s half copper/steel or 1956 d looks like plated silver over copper?

[@scottholliday9308]

👍

[@melvinthompson4323]

Thanks for the information and great content!!!!😎😎👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@johnlongshore9660]

Do you have any 1943 Lincoln cents for sale? :) , yes I had two PCGS graded MS67 1943 cents that were beautiful I had a bit of water damage and the coins inside my safe endured a short damp period. You can imagine which ones rusted!.. great videos

[@jeffw1267]

You should probably buy a Gold Shield slabbed coin even if it costs a little more. They are air- and water-tight. I bought a common date Lincoln cent in one of those slabs just to test it. Then I immersed the slab in water for three months and there's no corrosion on the coin. The paper insert did get wet and ripply but the ink didn't run or anything.

[@marduk2672]

I have a 19 3 copper penny error

[@martinneps9387]

I have a set that is a proof set from each mint pressed in cardboard Stating that they are war time pennies in a hard plastic case that has a open and closed hedge and they are in blue cardboard and it says right. On the cardboard war time pennies what could they be worth? They are zinc Is steel pennies

[@CoinHELPu]

After mint production and not that valuable.

[@babyinuyasha]

I love steel pennies

[@gierhardkrahn1352]

I have a 1943 steel penny 3.1 g . I don’t know if that’s mean some thing or not

[@mccoincollector3528]

I sure need a lot of the early cents for my collection, still learning but I took a quiz on your page and got a 60% haha 😂 Q: do you sell grab bags or just individual coins ?

[@Pyrolonn]

Really what coin dealers hate is ignorance...well except the home shopping type of dealers that's their bread and butter.

[@CoinHELPu]

No it creates a teaching moment

[@CentHoarder]

Those 1943 penny’s are not Steel they are silver. I googled it and they are right. They are worth 500$ each to. Google also told me that.

[@GladysPerez-u4g]

I have one that it doesn’t stick to a magnet

[@silvereaglestacker4084]

Hey brother, love watching your videos.... you need to do something with your Mic you sound like your talking threw a tube. just being honest. and I love your videos!!!!!!!!

[@aliciacauthen5479]

Well, how much are the steel

[@aliciacauthen5479]

I meant to ask how much are the steel pennies you featured worth?

[@CoinHELPu]

A few cents each. I recommend buying a 2023 Red Book price guide.

[@Coincollector81]

I have quite a lot of 1943 steel cents. They look very rusted and bad. Those are likely original.

[@boudyamir8981]

hi i found one copper cent 1943 no mint mark weight 3.1g don't stick a magnet diametre 19mm i need help to graded and sell

[@jumemowery9434]

Nice!

[@sarahg.2772]

I have a question which has to do w/ a few rare coins I need to have graded. For one I own A very high grade 1922. If the container it came inside of is correct than I believe it's in fact a 1922 Satin finish peace dollar because when we first bought it from a local coin dealer it was in a holder that stated it was A Satin Finish. Which since buying it it was taken out of the container that it came inside of. Being fairly new at collecting at that time which was now over a decade ago. At the time we got this coin my boyfriend WLD put them all in those clear plastic w/ cardboard material on the side of container thus to put into a book for viewing. With that being said I've heard nightmares when it comes to using the mail to send it in for grading & not getting the same coin back in the mail. I dk how true that in fact is. I obviously can't afford to lose this coin & I know enough about coins to know that it's a total irreplaceable coin. So when they say they'll replace the coin if there's an issue. Pretty obvious that they can't replace my coin. With that being said do you have any advice as to how I shld go about having my coin graded and wld I be better off waiting till they do another show that offers on site grading?. Out of the 3 top grading company's which 1 is most reputable?? Thk you ahead of time as I've always love your channel & I trust your opinion on this matter. 💜😊

[@samsmobilepressurewashing8422]

You should take some pictures with good lighting and send them to the CoinHelpu website. Take several pictures until you feel that the coin is best represented. Daniel will definitely weigh in on a coin like that if it is a satin finish.

[@sarahg.2772]

@@samsmobilepressurewashing8422 Okay that's not a problem. Thk You so very much that's so AWESOME of you guys to take a look at that for me. I've got it in a safe but I'll be able to get 2 it by this wkend. Just wish I had a better camera. Maybe I can use my mom's new Samsung Galaxy to TRULY capture the BEAUTY of this coin. I'll take alot & send them to you sometime this wkend. Thks again for getting back to me so soon, I truly appreciate that.

[@samsmobilepressurewashing8422]

@@sarahg.2772 Absolutely, have a wonderful weekend

[@jeffw1267]

Sorry to be a grinch but there's a 0% chance that coin is a satin Proof. I'm assuming you didn't pay a million dollars for it, because the dealer might have asked that much if it were real.

[@gregroman6840]

Do you mean re-processed ?

[@CoinHELPu]

Nope. Repurposed

[@joefreysalmorin5232]

Gd eve, i have lincoln coin 1982

[@simplysteve68]

There were 7 different varieties of that date, as the mints were transitioning, from full copper to copper coated zinc. Need to have it checked to see which one it could be.

[@eloydiaz9261]

I have 1943 steel penny a good condition 100 por cent mint condition.

[@CoinHELPu]

I have a few rolls of uncirculated 1943 steel cents. My video tells you how much they're worth.

[@anthonyfernandez9066]

I have six of them that have Philadelphia to Denver's to San Francisco's and their double die on the numbers on the date I got something that are like blue and silver can anybody help me with them? They are in men's shape

[@CoinHELPu]

You have replated examples, those are not doubled dies. The plating pools up around the letters and numbers making them look thicker, and that is post mint damaged.

[@coinhorder9243]

I just noticed you stop using your intro music. I guess you have done away with it some time ago. But I have not been watching you tube on a regular basis lately.
