In the late 90’s I worked graveyard shit at a gas station. I needed penny’s so I pulled out a roll-busted it open and it was a entire roll of 1943’s. I still have them today.🤙

However do to traumatic experiences in my life .I have been letting those experiences take a toll on my health physically and emotionally. I have been putting off exercise for a least 4 years .I began thinking that I am too out of shape for exercise. Lol I was always dreading the search for a work out that I would like . As soon as I clicked on your session and listened to you . I immediately thought you were fun .I am really enjoying my mornings working out with you. Happy to say that I am feeling great. I appreciate you 💐 Sincerely, Julie

Hi Christian thanks for all the great knowledge and information. I just started looking through some of my old coins from when I was a kid. I just found a 1943 steel penny it's pretty rusty and hard for me to make out but it looks like it was stuck wrong and it appears Lincoln's face is falling off or it was dubble struck. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Will

I inherited a jar full of these types of pennies! Thank you for the helpful information!

[@blownaway4371]

Buy an inexpensive microscope, the ones that are able to sync to your phone and catalog them. I had a Budd that I worked with that was hired to clean out an attic. And younger not caring heirs just said "to get rid of the stuff". He ended up with VOLUMES of baseball cards, and other sports memorabilia. And took detailed pictures and burnt them to a CD (back in the 90's) to catalog all of it. He did pretty well for several hours of work!!

[@HappyHermitt]

I found one while metal detecting in Louisiana. It's not pretty, but it's mine. I didn't realize what it was until I looked at it again. It was odd looking.

I have about 4 rolls of 1943 steel cents that I rolled many years ago. I have searched many thousands of Kennedy Halfs and just came across one that I have never saw. It is brilliant like a proof like coin. It is a 1974. Over the " in God " it has a date 1960. On the opposite side on front over the " We Trust " it has another date of 1980. It has to be a special coin. I know that it is not a regular Kennedy Half. Can you or any reader tell me something about it please. I have looked for days and can't find it.
