<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2740352, member: 15199&quot;]I guess we need to re watch &quot;War in the Pacific&quot; videos to tell us, but I doubt it. Those were desperate times in battle hearing from many relatives that were there. I suspect that if large samples of cents of the era was sampled with modern analytic devices, that the mint was not too concerned if the copper % dropped below 95% here or there. No one then even imagined that someday. someone could find to the .01% the content of the alloy proportions. They figured all the public would ever have would be the &quot; official mint records&quot;, so why worry. A cent is a cent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
