Funny story, When I was 6 I went in to my local grocery store and bought a soda with my dad the lady ended up giving me back some change on one of which was a very shiny penny. My dad gave it to me and joked I should hold onto it. When we were out in the car he realized it was a wheat penny and didn't have a single mark on it. So we got home sealed it up and that was the end of it....</p><p> </p><p>Anyways long story short, nearly 20 years later I was going through where I use to have my old coins and all but a few of the packages were empty. I think I probably turned them in to a bank or something, no idea. Anyways the nice shiny penny? The package it was in said 1943- Copper BU!!!! No one else in my family collected coins so they don't know if it was real, a fake, or just mislabeled! But I have never stopped wondering!!!</p><p> </p><p>It is now my mission to get a real 1943-copper penny.
