I have a 1944 5 cent piece graded MS65 by ICCS and it is one of the most beautiful coins in my collection. It has this wonderful bluish colouring. And the best part about this coin is that you can find one in that grade for well under $100. |

So the 2005 one with "We will win if we work willingly" is silver?
Also, I can't really see, but is the morse code also on the 43, 44 and 45 years?
