I saw a rerun of Las Vegas this week where a casino host was given a 1943 copper penny. On the show it was stated that there were about 40 of them worth $80,000 each. Wrong on the number of them, maybe right on the value ?

Wait a minute! I did some research and they might not be too far off on the show. There are about 40 of the cents known and the highest realized price so far was $82,500 in 1996.

there was also an episode of "cold Case" where they were looking at a case where a guy dissapeared in the mid 40's and the body had just turned up. In his pocket, wrapped in paper was a 1943 cent that was copper. their number was low and their estimate was a little high

There was an episode of Ghost whisperer where a guy lost a 1943 copper cent in the back of a u-haul truck just before he died. Those 1943 coppers sure get around..lol
