<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1647650, member: 18157&quot;]Actually...I got a 1943-D steel penny in my change at the cafeteria at work...just this week! ...and a 1945-P. I suspect they&#039;re getting rolls from their bank&#039;s CoinStar machine. I found other odd dates (silver) in my change over the past year or so.</p><p><br /></p><p>To your other questions...I think high grade (MS63+ Red) Wheat cents have been a good buy (I&#039;ve been packing OBW rolls away for the past 7 years), but the prices are going up faster than seems reasonable at the moment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now to Memorial Cents...if the cent is discontinued (ala Canada), I think most folks will be hoarding the Wheaties. Pre-1982 Memorial cents will likely be returned to the FED where they will be taken out of circulation and melted. That may make early Memorial cents a real sleeper...eventually! :thumb:</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000"><b>Note: </b></span>My Father bought a Mint bag of Memorial cents (P &amp; D) from 1959 to 1964 (12 bags). He (and now I) have carried these things around for 50+ years and their purchase power now is less then when they were minted!!! </p><p><br /></p><p>Just a <span style="color: #ff0000"><b>&quot;Word to the Wise&quot;</b></span>...for anyone planning on hoarding 2012 cents...hoping for a &quot;Big Score&quot; someday. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
