  • $50+ in PCGS MS67, maybe half that in MS66 if you're lucky. Other company's slabs generally bring less; recently picked up a nice ANACS MS67 1943 cent for $22.

  • If they are raw, uncertified... maybe a couple bucks... if they are really high grade and slabbed, you can get some decent money for em, but botherwise... maybe a couple bucks, and that's for Uncs with no rust spots...

    If the coins appear to have been circulated or have been reprocessed with a fresh coat of zinc, you'd be lucky to get more than a few bucks for the three. Decent money only comes about for those that look as if they were minted yesterday (MS66+).

    Buyer and seller of vintage coin boards!
  • Probably not worth much as everyone else has said, but I gotta add that I've always liked these coins (and I'm not a Lincoln collector). Along with the silver war nickels, I feel these really tell a story about our country during WWII. So valuable or not, I like 'em.

    Agreed. And for the more discerning collector, even in the high grade steel cents it's not easy to find nice lustrous examples with shimmering fields -- I snap these up whenever I see them.
