Re: Anybody collect coins?
I think that I have a couple. The story I heard was copper was in short supply due to the bullet demands of WWII that they changed the composition of the penny?

Re: Anybody collect coins?
Ive known about the penny for years, even dad said it might be a fake. I finally go to see it for myself. We dont have that type of luck in my family.
He does have a ton of coins that he's been collecting for years. I said dad, lets take them to the coin place up the street and cash them in,
you cant take them with you, and us kids would rather see you with the money so you can enjoy the rest of your life.
He'll never do it, just like the 62 metropolitian in his garage since 1970 that he said he was going to sell.FJB

A 1948 penny should be copper, unless someone added a custom coating.

Been collecting coins for over 45 years. A copper 1943 penny does exist, but rare as all get out. 1909 S VDB is needed for every collector.

Re: Anybody collect coins?
In cleaning out my Dad's stuff after he passed, we found an old cast coin bank.
It was a replica of the Liberty Bell.
It had quite a few pennies in it.
I think the pennies added up to about $ 1.25.
After sorting them and writing all the dates down and going through the web to get the values we ended up with a windfall total of about $ 1.30.
Later my Mom quietly gave me two gold coins she had stashed away somewhere.
They were from a Vegas casino !!God Bless the American Armed Forces, Thank You All.
