I recently was given a coin collection. Just a bag of coins. Buried inside were these 3 1943 Wheat pennies. I have not done a magnet test yet to see if they are steel. What would they be worth if they were not?




thanks

Update I just did the magnet test and all are three steel.

1943 Steel cents were made because they needed the copper for shell casings during WWII. :thumbsup: Few examples are made of copper and worth over $1 million dollars !! 8-)

Keep @ it and HH !! :hello2:
