Almost a question I hate to ask, so basic, did I miss it?

Desireous of current KM#, values in XF/AU/UNC, not much- I know...

I can find 1942 KM#39, then it jumps to 1946.image (wish I had a '44 though, 'course they don't list that either).

Mini-challenge, can you name another 12-sided coin, quickly?image

    Thanks XXX man, 'preciate it.

    Here's the reason I ask- this 1943 piece looks very nickelish to me and seems to be strongly toned a copperish color.
    Now I know its a stretch but there is at least 1 NGC error 5 cent out there struck on a nickel planchet instead of copper. So, I was wondering if anyone has experience with
    the way these tone, is there anything special about this one? Perhaps the image won't convey it but it does look very much like silver or nickel
    in hand, not like copper.

    Got more?

    I've got a 1961 Fiji 3 pence here that's got the same shape as its British counterpart, so I guess that counts. image

    I knew when i saw this post that i had looked this one up before in my 2005 Krause. It's listed on page 285 as KM#40 The 1943 had a mintage of 24,760,256. While the 1944 Tombac Victory had a mintage of 8,000 with only one known to exist. It is also listed on page 309 under Trial Strikes as TS14 1944 5 Cents Tombac. However it does not list a value. I've got one somewhere, can't remember the date tho.... I wish it was a 1944. image
