Description

The listing, 1 Silver Wheat Penny + 4 Wheat Pennies has ended.

1 Silver Wheat Penny + 4 Wheat Pennies
Silver Wheat Penny 1943
Wheat Pennies 1936, 1941, 1951, 1954

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. They are worth about 12 to 15 cents each in ciruclated condition, and as much as 50 cents or more if Uncirculated.

Questions & Comments

It is actually steel, not silver. (If it was silver it would be worth over a dollar.) :)

I just saw your description says steel, but the title said silver. I apologize for the correction.
