<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLeigh6, post: 1364580, member: 36048&quot;]This is a first and desperate post.&nbsp; Do the 1943 steel pennies ever look exactly like other pennies of that age - dark brown? I had one and now it is missing, it looked like all my other wheat pennies.&nbsp; It was years back when I got it from my grandfather along with other 1940s pennies.&nbsp; I learned from a coin book that that year was different from the others but it did not appear different so I was unimpressed and threw it back in the drawer where it is no more.&nbsp; I just want to know that the pennies can look the same if well circulated and if so will assume it was steel and sleep well at night.&nbsp; If not, well that is bad news for my sanity and my house.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, do the steels sound significantly different from copper wheat pennies when dropped?&nbsp; I remember it sounded different but I might have been comparing it to more modern pennies, I do not recall.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
