PLEASE BE SURE TO READ OUR INSPECTION, PAYMENT & REMOVAL SECTIONS AT THE BOTTOM OF OUR LISTING. You are bidding on a collection of pennies from 1943-1946 from different U.S. mints! For patriotic reasons, and to conserve metal during WWII, these pennies were made differently from ones issued today. This historic collection includes the 1943 steel penny as well as 1944, '45 and '46 coins struck from shell casings off battlefields. Issues from Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco mints, mounted with wheat backs also visible. The set includes 12 Lincoln cents minted during World War II. A copper shortage in 1943 led the United States Government to issue a zinc coated steel penny. Shell casings were used in 1944 through 1946, which produced a slight color change from the original Lincoln Wheat Cent. The 1943 penny is the only US penny that may be picked up with a magnet. All dates are readable on each coin. These rare pieces are highly popular for coin collectors, hobbyists and people of all ages. Comes complete with a certificate of authenticity.
