Marquez-Collector Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Would this qualify for 1943 D/D FS-513 1C MS designation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted October 10, 2019 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted October 10, 2019 That's a form of die erosion that resulted from the plated planchets used in 1943. It's extremely common and often mistaken for a repunched mintmark. The same phenomenon occurs with our current brass-plated zinc cents, with the same confusion.

I thought I would ask. going to put it aside so I can use it as reference. So, on the date, more specifically the 3, Is that environmental damage, where the material was moved out?

Greenstang Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Looks like some of the Zinc plating is becoming separated from the steel core. Marquez-Collector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
