yeah, the government would not let any coin be produced wtih copper back then because they needed it for all the bullets (that's when WWII really started wearing us down supplies wise, it's the only year that's made from steel too... (i always say silver cuz it looks like silver lol) i have all three of the collection, all in pretty damn good shape too....
oops, i forgot, there are copper 1943 pennies out there, but they are extremely rare, and generally, worth alot... just had to add that incase anyone ever comes across one <.<;;;; i'll buy it from you for 20 dolllars
