Steel penny

[littleton]

I found this in my pocket change many years ago, funny thing... the color did not catch my attention but the lighter weight of the coin did! I had no idea what the significance of it was when I found it but later learned that they were made of steel that year because copper was needed for ammo in WW11. I havn't seen any posted here so I thought I would post mine. I'm not sure what it's worth, anybody know??

Typical uncirculated it might be worth a buck... but more than likely .05 cents. It's very common...
