1943 Steelie

[MentalUnrest]

After 1000's of dollars in Cents, I finally found a steel cent. Worth about 1 cent but the joy is worth more than finding a 90% half.

It is a S mint mark and in pretty decent shape.

Congrats, I've never found one, but my wife found an entire roll at her CU.

I thought the steel cents were silver in color ,,, Not copper color

If it was copper I would have a tad more excitement.

If it was a copper, you'd be a rich cat.

I haver found more steelies on the magnets of the coin counter than in all my boxes combined. By almost a 3 to 1 ratio. So don't forget the magnets if you have coin counters. :-)

I also found my only steel cents from the magnet at my coin counter. I pulled three BU condition ones a few months back.
