<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 190341, member: 6641&quot;]I have spent the last hour looking at different half pennies and have seen nothing like the raise on the back.&nbsp; It would be a shame if it was from a money clip or jewelery coin holder as I feel the reverse is so much nicer than the obverse.&nbsp; But then again, I&#039;m biased and don&#039;t mean to insult any of the folks that may Cherish the view of the queen.&nbsp; One ebay seller had a really nice 1965 (my birth year) in a group that just went, but the feedback was so bad I had to pass.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you figure it out I would be interested in hearing what happened to it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The 1943 steel penny was only made that year.&nbsp; They needed the copper for the war.&nbsp; People hated them and are also sometimes referred to as lead pennies.&nbsp; Than nickname was given due to the dislike. People confused them with dimes and that was a costly mistake in 1943.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BTW - for what I can see of it, I also like the 1948 French 1 Franc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With the bent penny these guys/gals would probably need good photos of both obverse and reverse to even make a guess.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thank you so much for sharing your collection.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Best Regards,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Darryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
