Delareece Valued Member Canada 101 Posts	Posted 08/19/2012 3:53 pm Hey guys, I've come across three circulated 1943 Steel Pennies. From what I gather, they arn't worth much (12-15 cents based on one website), however, I do have one from each mint. 1943 without a letter - Philadelphia 1943 with a "D" - Denver 1943 with a "S" - San Francisco Are all these coins worth about the same (in rarity sense, not taking into consideration condition)? Or are 1943 Steel Pennies from one of the three mints worth more (I.e. lower mintage)? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

They may have been "reprocessed" and are of little value. Far from true. Many of those sell for $0.25 to $0.50 each. Yet a plain one that has not been redone could go for as little as $0.10 to $0.25 each. Many buy those replated ones for their Albums to look nice, not because they are worth a lot.

numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 08/19/2012 11:14 pm People can certainly put what they want into their collections. I consider processed steel cents in the same category as acid dated Buffalo nickels-not original. Granted the cents look nice. Report this Post to the Staff
