1943 S Penny

[bchohn]

I've been given conflicting information regarding this coin. Some say the "S" designation makes it valuable. Others say not. Does anyone else have information? Thanks.

Of the three mints (Philly, Denver, San Fran), San Francisco had the lowest mintage of about 191 million. They aren't rare by any means. Because they are zinc coated steel plantchets, they are susceptible to corrosion (as depicted by yours). Something worth holding onto, but it will probably only fetch $.10 at most.

Exactly! These can be bought at any coin store in mint state for just a few bucks.
