Questions & Comments

There is a difference in the metallic composition. For the years 1944, 1945 and 1946 the mint recycled shell casings from ammunition that was used in WWII and minted cents out of them. They are still primarily copper but the other metals are a little different. I hope this helps to explain why the appearance is different.
