Funny Money Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 07:50 am Well, what happened is...there was a shoot off, and the second guy not to be outdone by his opponent, threw up a 1946 wheat back penny and fired off a shot...the rest is in your possession... Or, more likely, some person with a carbide drill bit. Report this Post to the Staff

jgfindring Rest in Peace United States 1380 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 08:31 am Copper worms. No questiion about it. The mint had a bad infestation that year and they got into a lot of sealed mint bags. My grandfather told me all about it, and he had a coin like that that never left his hands since coming direct from the mint. It was unsearched too. Report this Post to the Staff
liveandievarieties Pillar of the Community United States 601 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 1:11 pm I forgot all about the copper worms of '46! This seems more likely than the mint pulling the Donut Die Press out of storage. Are you reading this Lucleus? Is it starting to make sense? Report this Post to the Staff
