ccaps97 Valued Member United States 130 Posts	Posted 05/27/2020 8:12 pm This was my mothers, sure must have been tough times in 1939. The penny was a 1928 not very valuable even today, wonder how many 1909 pennies were ruined in those presses? Report this Post to the Staff

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 05/27/2020 9:03 pm ccaps97, a bit of history. The New York Worlds Fair was originally scheduled for one year. However, lack of sufficient funds to recoup costs resulted in a spill over to 1940. While the 1939 Fair was basically educational, the 1940 Fair was mostly for entertainment.
