<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 370774, member: 4552&quot;]Lots of silly stories about the 1943 Cent. In reality there was a little confusion about the color so that people did get confused knowing a Cent was supposed to be Copper colored. But as they became more into circulation they became a massive collectors item. As soon as the remake of the Copper looking ones came out everyone went nutty hoarding the 43 Steel ones. You&#039;ve got to remember that there was very little vending machine problems with them. The reason is simple. We did not have to many vending machines back then and the ones we did have wouldn&#039;t take any Cents at all. My Dad used to go looking for them for me. At first in 43 it was easy but by 44 and 45 they were vanishing due to the hoarding. I ended up with about 30 rolls and mostly Uncirc condition back then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
