Which I told the gentleman I was given , and him and the whole store, they was obvious to such a thing . I'm now on a journey to find out why it would be no, noway, no how a genuine 1943 coin. 1st step was proven it was a real coin in fact . Step two , to find any believers and disbelieve and find out infact that I could go forth with step three prove infact,hard facts,its a genuine or non but lay to rest from hard to facts .1 in 15,000,000 odds of in contact and people has won the lottery with them odds .I would like a fair chance at it sir .
