Product Description
On the homefront, it was all hands on deck — even the U.S. Mint contributed to the war effort! Copper was a crucial metal needed for munitions during World War II, so the Treasury diverted its supplies and instead authorized the issuance of battleship-gray steel cents in 1943. Their different weight caused problems in coin machines and they were replaced in 1944 with copper retrieved from casings of fired bullets and artillery shells. Roll of 50 circulated quality specimens.Product Videos
