Welcome to CT. 1943 Lincoln Cents were made of steel coated with zinc. Some bronze '43 cents are known and are worth 5 figures (if genuine). What is the second head on your Lincoln Cent? Is it Kennedy? __________________ No state shall emit bills of credit, make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts, coin money . . . - US Constitution, Article 1, Section 10 ANA LM-3799; OHNS LM-59; SUSCC R-4005.

It is post mint damage, these are novelty items from the 70's I believe they were used on business cards and such. Worth a little bit.. ( under 5 dollars) if it's still attached to the card. But this has no REAL numismatic value. __________________ -Shawn Need your Canadian copper identified? Need your Canadian Colonials identified?

But this has no REAL numismatic value. And the 1943 cents are only valuable if they are copper.. or an extremley high grade steel. __________________ -Shawn Need your Canadian copper identified?
