I used to collect coins.
I never bought them at a dealer. I just went through all of my relatives pockets.
Good find!

That’s a great find and in very good shape. I suspect you did not get that in change. It’s been in someone’s collection for a long time. They’re steel, so rust usually kills them. They were only made for three years during WWII because copper was in short supply. It was 42,43 & 44 I think.
Put it in an air tight case and it won’t rust. Don’t clean it.

If I remember correctly, no mint mark means it was from the Philadelphia mint.

A great find, and is in surprisingly great condition.

I pulled it out today to put it in my change jar and noticed it and since those are the only two places I had been it had to come from one of the two. The silver war nickles are the ones you are thinking about being minted those three years. The steel penny was only minted in 1943.

I’ve never seen one of those.
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

I have quite a few of them from 43. If you find a 44 they're worth a lot of money.
