1943 Copper Cents


 
In 1943 there was a critical shortage of copper due to WW2, so the government began to issue 1943 coins made of zinc coated steel. The mints cleared out all the old copper cent unstruck coins out of the big bins that fed the minting machines. Evidently all the old copper planchets were not removed and some 1943 copper cents were made by mistake. There are about a dozen known genuine 1943 copper cents.
