1943 penny

[TA Ride]

i got some change from the store i was just at and i thought i just got a 1943 silver wheat penny. i was like holy shit and thought i had a penny worth a little something. then i got dissapointed when a magnet picked it up. anyone got a copper 1943 penny you wanna give me?

It's made from shell case steel. This was due to a shortage of copper during WWII. Worth a bit more than a penny depending on it's condition.

yeah i looked it up. it's worth about 30 cents. the copper ones during that year are worth a good bit.

its always cool to find old change, makes you wonder how many places its been, how many pockets its been in, where its sat for years on end, etc.....

I think about dollar bills and how many strippers they have seen.

I collect old coins. I never actually go out of my way looking or buying old coins, just if one falls on my lap i keep it. It all started when my mother worked at a bank as a teller and one day she opened up a roll of Quarters, Dimes and Nickels and every single coin was from 1900-1940. It still had the original wrapping from the 40's. Too bad she had to torn it open. So what she did was, she replaced them with her own money and brought them home to me.

I also had a Crisp $500 bill.....my uneducated about currency mother took it in the bank....well what she didnt know that the $500 bill actually is worth almost $2,000

She got it by mistake when the bank cashed in her check and the confused the $500 for a $50.

the sad part is that $500 bill is now destroyed by the bank.

I would't be so sure about that, someone probably swiped that if they were smart or its in some kind of museum or collection.
