In March 2008, we were contacted by a person who believed they were in possession of a 1933 penny. As usual we said we would be interested to see it. Three photographs of this pseudo coin are shown on the right. On this coin, it is very obvious that the date has been altered, but it is surprising because the whole of the date area appears to have been tampered with. There are what appear to be flashes where there should be a gap in the lower section of both 3s. An interesting fake!
