Title: 1933 Penny..weird Fake?
Post by: Basil on July 06, 2014, 11:12:19 AM
Going thru my Brothers Coins to fill in time & came across this.It must be a fake but why?,a fake 1933 must be a first. Its exactly the right diameter & weight(9.5g on my scales) but the planchet is a bit thinner.In amongst a pile of Pennies you'll never pick it unless you look carefully at date. Thought anyone?.

....but why 1933?,obviously punters are going to examine the date for that year,its looks like the 2 3's have been added to a master "die".

The 1933 is a ripper.
