    Lucky bastige;

    I love that line from the director of the mint:

    "In reference to your letter of August 11th, there were no copper cents struck during the calendar year 1943 at any of the coinage Mints. Only the zinc coated steel cent was struck during that year."

    Just shows even back in 46 the mint director had no idea what they where producing.

    Ah to have that bit of luck.... what a find. I would likely sit for days just looking at it. Would take that long to get my heartbeat back to normal. Cheers, RickO
