<p>[QUOTE=&quot;VistaCruiser69, post: 6881721, member: 107016&quot;]I saw this on ebay and thought it was pretty funny.&nbsp; Listed as a &quot;A RARE 1943 Silver Steel Wheat Penny that Sticks To Magnets&quot;.&nbsp; That&#039;s a lot of money for a 1943 penny that sticks to magnets like most all the rest of the same year of penny.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also what intrigued me though was while looking at the pix on the ad, I noticed the reverse of the coin has a groove or indention on it at the 12 o&#039;clock position.&nbsp; This interested me because a year or so ago, I had found a 1944 penny on the ground in front of an ATM which has the same exact type of groove or indention on it at the 12 o&#039;clock position.&nbsp; It seems from how this groove or indention appears on the coin, it may have happened before or during the minting process.&nbsp; I&#039;m very curious to know how this groove or indention occurred either before or during the minting process.&nbsp; Anyone have any ideas?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here&#039;s the ebay ad:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/193766126038?chn=ps&amp;norover=1&amp;mkevt=1&amp;mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&amp;mkcid=2&amp;itemid=193766126038&amp;targetid=1068323855470&amp;device=c&amp;mktype=pla&amp;googleloc=9031973&amp;poi=&amp;campaignid=11612431626&amp;mkgroupid=113527555336&amp;rlsatarget=pla-1068323855470&amp;abcId=9300456&amp;merchantid=6296724&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8cja8pa17wIVOx-tBh1wjgTnEAkYAiABEgLAQPD_BwE" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/193766126038?chn=ps&amp;norover=1&amp;mkevt=1&amp;mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&amp;mkcid=2&amp;itemid=193766126038&amp;targetid=1068323855470&amp;device=c&amp;mktype=pla&amp;googleloc=9031973&amp;poi=&amp;campaignid=11612431626&amp;mkgroupid=113527555336&amp;rlsatarget=pla-1068323855470&amp;abcId=9300456&amp;merchantid=6296724&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8cja8pa17wIVOx-tBh1wjgTnEAkYAiABEgLAQPD_BwE" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/193766126038?chn=ps&amp;norover=1&amp;mkevt=1&amp;mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&amp;mkcid=2&amp;itemid=193766126038&amp;targetid=1068323855470&amp;device=c&amp;mktype=pla&amp;googleloc=9031973&amp;poi=&amp;campaignid=11612431626&amp;mkgroupid=113527555336&amp;rlsatarget=pla-1068323855470&amp;abcId=9300456&amp;merchantid=6296724&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8cja8pa17wIVOx-tBh1wjgTnEAkYAiABEgLAQPD_BwE</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here is a reverse picture of the 1944 penny that I found a year or so ago, showing the groove or indention at the 12 o&#039;clock position.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1272712[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
