<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1049985, member: 10103&quot;]More than likely you&#039;ve got a zinc coated steel cent.&nbsp; They exhibit a silvery finish and, many who are not in the know, mistake them for silver pieces.&nbsp; The mint discontinued copper production of cents in &#039;43 to make more copper available for the war effort.&nbsp; Copper cent production resumed in &#039;44.&nbsp; If you were to ever encounter a well worn, well weathered &#039;43 piece there would be no mistaking it for silver.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
