Nice find there. And I know what you mean about those Copper ones people keep slipping into circulation. Just trying to fool us all that want the Steel ones.

Cool find! It's certainly in better shape than the 43 S I found in circulation: the S is almost gone and the reverse is nearly fully corroded...

The only steels I got are from my local dealer. 10 cents each.

That is mostly due to the rumor that the Mint stopped making them and now your finding those older ones.
