BU '43 steel found in string roll!

Postby pennypicker » Sun Jan 16, 2011 7:27 pm

Today while watching the Patriot/Jet game I was opening string rolls and I had just laid an open roll on my leg and noticed a very shiny chrome edge on one coin. Naturally I figured it to be a foreign coin or slug and to my surprise it was a beautiful, shiny, BU 1943 steel penny. I guess since it was found in a non-original bank roll I can't technically call it brilliant uncirculated but it looks absolutely brand new and has all its original mint luster and no distracting scratches. A very odd find indeed. :D

Be careful, it could be replated/reprocessed.
