1943 Steel Cents

Surprise from my Daughter. Someone brought these 1943 Steel Cents to her bank, so she paid 1 cent each and gave them to me. Nothing special on them that I can tell, but to get a bunch at one time is great!

At least 3 keepers in terms of condition. They stand out.

 

Yep. A couple others are dull, but in good shape.
Probably give the rest away to young collectors needing to fill a slot in their books.

 

Low-background steel is any steel produced prior to the detonation of the first atomic bombs in the 1940s and 1950s.

One cent each, what a steel! Sorry, couldn't help myself. That's really nice of her. Now make sure you teach her how to spot silver coins

 

Oh I have! Even some dollar bills. This is one she got me before, and I posted.

 

That's really interesting. Thanks for the link.
