Steel Pennies - 50 In A Penny Coin Tube

Up for bids is this coin tube of 50 Steel Pennies. No Guarantee's on the mint marks, I only know for certain that some don't have one. They look to be in great condition, average circulated condition, but exceptional. Please see all pics and make your own determination of condition.

Due to wartime needs of copper for use in ammunition and other military equipment during World War II, the United States Mint researched various ways to limit dependence and meet conservation goals on copper usage. After trying out several substitutes (ranging from other metals to plastics.) to replace the then-standard bronze alloy, the one-cent coin was minted in zinc-coated steel. This alloy caused the new coins to be magnetic and 13% lighter. They were struck at all three mints: Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. As with the bronze cents, coins from the latter two sites have respectively "D" and "S" mint marks below the date. Feel free to see my other auctions - you might really like what you see!
