<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 398153, member: 8033&quot;]There&#039;s even more to it than that Brit!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my original question and response to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Q: Q: How exactly is this coin rare other than the writing on the holder? A: Well, it got YOUR attention, which i suspect is rare. Also, it is a key date in that it is the last year pennies were made with 95% copper, prior to the steel pennies being issued in 1943 due to war munitions. Also, it was minted in San Francisco and had a lower mintage amount than most wheaties. Also, it&#039;s MINE, for now. And i am RARE, lol. I hope you&#039;re more interested in the coin and my answer rather than being a smartie pants and busting cookies. I look forward to your response! God bless.

Perhaps and it&#039;s a rare quality I pride myself on.</p><p>Just so happens I work in a REAL coin shop where REAL collectors come in.</p><p>1942-S is as common as mud I&#039;m afraid.</p><p>Reckon I see dozens in any given week.</p><p>NOW, what will you do if you DO get a truly rare coin. Bigger holder for more writing?</p><p>Perhaps a papyrus scroll?</p><p>Yep, I&#039;m a smartie pants. Beats being a dummy pants don&#039;t you think?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay can be such a fun place![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
