<p>[QUOTE=&quot;crispy1995, post: 67571, member: 3794&quot;]The 1943 steel pennies are usually common amongst collectors, especially of pennies. Copper was needed for World War II, so low-grade zinc and steel were used for pennies. Since the steel and zinc are fairly sensitive materials left unprotected for 62 years, it&#039;s less common to find a 1943 steel without rust or deterioration of any type. An extremely rare find would be to find a 1943 copper. Many &quot;tricksters&quot; copper coat a 1943 steel to give the copper appearance. If it sticks to a magent, it&#039;s steel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
