T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 01/03/2019 07:42 am In 1943 the U.S. mint produced zinc plated steel cents as they had to save the copper for the war effort . In the condition that those coins are in they are worth between $0.20 and $0.50 each retail . Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/03/2019 09:07 am It appears that the zinc plating has been breached. If so it will serve only as a hole-filler. Report this Post to the Staff
