My heart skipped a beat for a second as it was intermingled with all bronze colored cents. Alas it is a steel cent, but still pretty cool to find one in circulation.

Been a while since I've seen one of these in circulation

I have never once seen one of those in circulation.

I actually have gotten a couple of them in BU in change as dimes over the past decade and I still find them in cent rolls.

Deposited several thousand copper cents in the bank yesterday. The teller asked "Why don't you keep them if they're worth more for the metal".
And I said, "they're like day old donuts. And I can't do anything with all this copper, they're ONE CENT each, except to melt them and that's not the right thing to do according to the law and legal ramifications".

Someone else can go dig through them. Maybe find a variety. People often bring me buckets full of change. It's worse when they think foreign coins should exchange for American money of the same size.

None of it makes 'cents' to me

Cool find. Did you keep it or throw it back?

ricko · February 12, 2015 10:59PM

It has been almost two years since I have seen one in change...and then it was in one of those 'take one, leave one' trays....Cheers, RickO

I did not know these had enough value to get excited about. I learn so much from this board.

<< <i>I did not know these had enough value to get excited about. I learn so much from this board. >>

It doesn't but I love finding stuff like this in the wild. I find it amazing how some here feel the need to make such statements. This is a coin forum and we get excited about COINS!

I remember getting $50 bags of cents from the bank back in 1962-1963 and seeing steels sprinkled through the pile when I dumped them out.

Coins like this one are the BEST!
I go GA-GA every time I find a nice change find, for some reason it beats the pants off of a high dollar purchase.

I would enjoy finding it. Odd to find it with a good amount of circulation, but no rust (or reprocessing) -- the fate of many a '43 steelie!

It's neat that even the most newbie collector can find/afford a unique-appearing coin such as a '43 steelie.

Now what do I do with this steel-colored '44 I came across?

grote15 · February 13, 2015 2:21PM

Nice find!
