It doesn't not exist, please don't jump to impossible conclusions. We don't even attribute unlisted varieties here, and you should be looking up your coins for matches on CONECA Variety Vista and coppercoins.com, just to name a few.

As has been said, the mint never made a 1944/3

It was never my intensions to jump to conclusions for me this coin hobby is something i enjoy doing taking on this hobby after losing my 4 yr old brother to drowning became something that helped me get through tough moments....i uploaded this penny due to the fact if you really look closely there is def something under the last 4....im not the only one that has agreed as well im not sure if its just the way the picture was taken or just need to load a more close up picture. I just felt to discredit all together that its impossible to that even being an existance dwells on me for the fact that anything is possible. No one even really bothered to really look into the even thought of the fact that it clearly shows a number under the 4....moving forward i appreciate every ones input. After all it is the reason why i joined the group was for inputs....so thanks

sorry for your loss. I know many things is possible, but in this case, there is no 1943/4 variety that is known. Many of our members, including me, did not identify any markers that indicates a overdate either. I will do more research and look into this again, but I am afraid paredolia is likely in the works on this one.

I took the time to look into this, decades of looking into varieties, errors and studying the minting process. I know what exist and what does not.
So lets say it is as you say, posting it here will not give you answers or make it official. It doesn't work like that. People don't like to hear the blunt truth but if you don't believe me then you must go to the websites I mentioned and contact the owners and send it to them. Wexler or Mike Diamond to name a couple.

Impossible is the word, unless you're willing to send it off to an expert and have it verified, because it's impossible to attribute discovery varieties using images. I am being as honest and forthright as I can be here. I live, eat and breath this business and I most certainly know how it works, and that is not arrogance, it's just the truth. I make my living doing this. I've found and had attributed and graded, many varieties and that is the only way you can do it.
Let's put it this way. I own this forum and respect all the members and knowledge but I have yet to post a coin here to be attributed as a new variety, because that's not possible to do with images, not as far as the experts are concerned. And not if you desire your coin to be taken serious by the numismatic community.

You have a circulated coin with many, may contact marks and contact marks can look like a lot of things, and that is what you're seeing here.
