Fabulous Forties Friday- Post your '40's coins.
It's just about 12 am here. The new thread is called simply, " Fabulous Forties Friday!". Please post your coins from the "40's"
I don't care. Any century is fine. Go with it. Afterall, it is Friday.
Here are mine....
1943 Quarter, 1946 Quarter, 1946S Walker Half and a BONUS.
A "holed" 1944 penny.

Re: Fabulous Forties Friday- Post your '40's coins.
In the spirit of spreading it out over time, I have a coin for the 1940s and one from 46 BC. The first is a Franklin with an RPM (FS-501) and the second is a guy named Julius Caesar when he was appointed counsel for the third time, 2 years before he declared himself emperor for life (and a month or so later was assassinated)

I'll post a couple 1/2 reals and a coin type I deliberately avoided for decades but finally ended up owning one.

That's one of my favourite coins. I wish they made a 50 cent with that obverse though

It's just the alloy. Like a 1943 "steel" cent.SensibleSal66 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2024 3:48 amHi. Why do they call it a tombac?

Re: Fabulous Forties Friday- Post your '40's coins.
How about a fake 1842 Seated dollar?
And then a fake 1944 tombac nickel from China Then what I consider a beautifully designed 1947 Cinco Pesos coin (real):
And finally a 1949-S Jefferson struck through something on the REV:

Re: Fabulous Forties Friday- Post your '40's coins.
While the fake coins are quite compelling and you could become an EBay millionaire overnight with such fine products, I like the struck through nickel. Somebody tried to hide my 1949-S under a 1949-D.

From a person who does not especially like tarnished coins...that one is beautiful!

Well they didn't do a very good job of hiding it. Tell you what, I'll get a nice 1949-D with an unspoiled mint mark and we can swap. Yours just looks so messy!
Good job in this thread everyone. Some very nice stuff being posted here.
