FREE: 1943 steel wheat penny

The listing, 1943 steel wheat penny has ended.

Well really wish i had a better camera but this is a 1943 steel wheat penny. looks to me its in-between excellent and uncirculated and now a story.

The 1943 silver colored penny is a wartime issue made of steel, and coated with zinc. During World War II, copper was so badly needed for the war effort (to make shell casings) that the U.S. penny was made out of steel that year, which is why most 1943 pennies are silver colored.

So at the end of it all kind of a historic background. This comes with free shipping in U.S. happy bidding and good luck any further questions dont be shy just ask.
