tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 10/23/2016 12:08 am I know it is not a good thing to go around faking or defacing pennies, but I do collect them out of habit when I find them. Although most just seem to be science experiments in zinc plating or similar, the ones that seem faked for a reason surely must have a good story behind them... Report this Post to the Staff

And from my dad's hometown no less. I suppose since at the time the mint denied making any 1943 copper cents they couldn't be prosecuted for forging actual money. I think I would have charged more, though. Report this Post to the Staff
