[shanegalang]

Do any of you guys have one of the 1943 S copper cents? Heres a site that has a great write up about it. Maybe you have seen it already but I found it very interesting. Shane

It's on my wish list but not in my budget unless I find one and my luck is good but not that good

I still laugh at the story about the guy that had one (I think it was a 43 plain on a copper planchet) but he kept it in a soap dish thinking no burglar would notice it. One day his wife was gathering change and she found it and spent it. I never believed the story but it's still a good one.

Here's it's cousin, a 1943 on a silver dime planchet but still not in the budget.

I've got several of those. Of course mine are all attracted by a magnet. Used to be the thing to go around showing them to people so I bought a few.

I've got many of 1943 Copper Cents. But they are from Canada..

Information release by the mint officials say that only 45 copper 43 cents made it out of the facilities but who knows how accurate there estimation is.
