Where have you been? That response was from June Your Cent is still an altered and damaged piece. 1000 pennies is really not that much of an enormous task.
Perhaps coin roll hunting is good therapy as you recover. Very sorry to learn about your accident @Tuna .
Thanks for your get well wishes. I wanted you see my 1909 Lincoln VDB Red MS 63 penny. My 1982 D coppery penny leg date MS 64+
1941 was a very unstable year due to Japan's attempts to take Hawaii and the later declaration of war by the US. Some were right on, others slightly overweight , others were slightly less weight due to the war effort need of the separate elements copper, zinc, tin. And then plug in the wear as a well used coin.
