[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 5562928, member: 27832"]Different cases. 1943 copper/1944 steel -- there's no way to know how many were made. I'd be really surprised if there [I]aren't[/I] undiscovered examples. But I'll never live to find one myself; I'd be struck by lightning too many times first. 1913 V nickel -- there were only five made as far as anyone knows, and they're all accounted for. There was one story of a holder made to contain them that had six holes, but I think there was another explanation for the sixth hole. 1959 wheat -- [URL='https://www.pcgs.com/news/the-mystery-of-the-1959-d-mule-lincoln-cent']there's disagreement as to whether there's even [I]one[/I][/URL]. 1974 aluminum -- they were handed out, then confiscated, and they're illegal to own. I can't picture one [I]circulating[/I]; it looks wrong, feels wrong, and no machine would accept it. The only ones that have turned up were handed down, not spent.[/QUOTE]
