Coin Values

As Josh stated in the community timeline:

"A 1943-S bronze cent, even in corroded condition or a very low grade, would still be worth several thousands of dollars. The best way to verify that you have the real deal is to weigh it -- it should weigh around 3.11 grams -- and make sure it does NOT stick to a magnet. If it does, it's made from steel and is worth 5 to 10 cents in poor condition. Sometimes the "3" and the "8" are confused by some people; on 1943 cents, the tail of the "3" is extra long.

Please post any photos of your 1943 cent here and we'll be glad to help you verify it."
