<p>[QUOTE="thomas mozzillo, post: 4524196, member: 75914"]Welcome to Coin Talk. Many YouTube videos are click bait scams where the only one making money is the one who made the video. The 1943 Cent referred to is a Copper Cent. In 1943 the US Mint produced Zinc coated Steel cents as copper was needed for the War effort.

You should get a copy of the "Red Book". The official name is A Guide Book of United States Coins by R.S. Yeoman. It's considered the Bible of coin collecting. Two things every newcomer is told is 1) Never clean a coin and 2) Buy the book before the coin.</p><p>Ask as many questions as you want.
