Re: This 1943 Cent have some value?
They are like that cuz they needed all the copper for the war
Re: This 1943 Cent have some value?
The fact that it is magnetic means that it isn't valuable. 1943 was the year in which the U.S. Government made pennies out of steel, since copper was needed for the war. Your coin, in it's condition, wouldn't be worth more than a couple of cents.
