Thought we had a 1943-D copper cent!

Today in the coin counter junk there was a wheat that I saw the date 1943 and it was copper I thought I was rich. I was happy until I dropped it on the counter and Franklin said wrong metal. So of to the coin shop we went and they got the magnet out and said it was one of the best platting jobs they have seen. :mrgreen:

Next time, listen to Franklin. He knows his Lincolns :D

That is a cool counterfeit, though.
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.
- Thomas Gray, 1747

It would be a fun coin to add to an odd and different collection! ( that is what my grandson calls his extras ) :geek:
