1943 Copper Penny

I got board made this in spare time!
Copper 1943 Cent

MrEureka

Reminds me of the time I went to a small auction in PA. Bought a pile of coins. Some good, some bad, but including a roll of copper plated 43 cents. (Yes, I knew what they were. I paid $8 for the roll.) Anyway, went to a coin shop on the way home and was treated like dirt. Left, but before leaving town scattered the roll all over the streets of the town. For the next few years, I'll bet the shop owner received a few dozen calls on those coins. Wish I had bought more than a few rolls. True story!

Andy that's a classic that I have to bring up for more people to read. What a great way to repay the kindness he showed you.


The way I resurrected this thread is one of our employees told me he has had two 1943 Copper pennies. He said he lost the first one he had years ago and the second one is possibly inside a two-foot tall beer bottle bank full of pennies. Now I can tell him they probably made their way south from Pennsylvania thanks to a coin dealer seeding the streets with goodies.

That "beer bottle" full of pennies will be on ebay as an "unsearched hoard from an estate." I pity the poor fool who has a heart attack when he first sees the '43 copper. His "hoard from an estate" will be listed shortly after his demise...

That actually looks pretty good. And a nice picture to boot.

What an excellent idea ! I don't care if someone comes into my shop with a 1958 cent, thinking it's rare. They receive courtesy and an education....Life is too short.....
