  If you find one that's copper then you have something special.

  Yep! Copper will let you live it up a bit

  The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

  Very true.... find a copper '43 and you will have some 'disposable funds' to play with... Cheers, RickO

  Yes, copper cents from 1943 are worth a bundle, but let's not forget to include the information that the great majority of those that appear to be copper are actually copper coated after they leave the US Mint and are not valuable.

  Actually, the pictures are not of a 1943 penny, they are of a 1943 cent
