CLOUGH - THERE were no silver pennys struck in 1940;; iN 1943 there was new metal used for the 1943 issyes, some placets were struck in 1944 of the same metals but they were steel planchets;; THE METAL WAS CHANGED DUE TO THE SHORTAGE OF COPPER< WHAT WAS USED WAS { ZINC-COATED STEEL} IT WAS CALLED { VARIETY 2
) HOPE THIS HELPS YOU AND CATHIEhunter72
::SORRY BUT THE ONLY WAY THAT COULD BE POSSIBLE <IS IF SOMEONE HAD MELTED SILVER AND COATED THE PENNY WITH THE SILVER :: HAVE A GREAT DAY AND GOD BLESS ::F.B.E.

Thanks, F.B.E.
I did know about the steel pennies. Perhaps she might be misreading the year? Just a thought...
I hope that cathiehunter72 returns!

I think that a lot of tjhis bank rup and co's saying going to go bankrup unless we get so much money from the gov. and the stock market> banks ect> a lot of them got the money friom the gov> and then <the big wheels went to big resorts and had a ball< pluss getting these big raises and so forth< make more then the president does by far::
Watch and see <a lot of these co's. Are going to use this as a excuse to move out of the usa> cheep labor< send it back to good ol usa and sell it for more then when it was made in this country< now answer this ::who's making the profit and getting richer off the citizens of this country? I get so upset when i get started on this subject: back in the
Early 1970's i used to tell people to stop buying this forign made stuff <that they were cutting americas throat: and look what has happened:
The us gov. should put so high a taxes on the co's that has moved to other countries ,that they would beg to come bact to america ;; there are more then 2,500 american,co's in china alone: hay buddy <sorry to bend your ears i'll talk tomorrow have a very good day tomorrow and only thing left for us all is god bless; f.b.e.
