The 1943 wartime cents were struck from zinc-plated steel to save copper for the war effort. It proved a horrible choice. They turned a truly ugly grey, the zinc rots away in the presence of water, and the underlying steel rusts too. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
