Did you get all the steel Penny’s and there’s a special marking on the 1919 that’s supposed be VERY valuable too but that’s all I know about collecting coins
There were a few steel pennies but not sure about a 1919. Those steel and zinc cents did not fare well really hard to find minty “war pennies”
BTW - I do have some near uncirculated looking ones but they were mounted into frames.
1943 - not really very valuable; copper 1943 is 'gold'! 1943 is my birth year!

'svdb' (?) - engraver's initials under Lincoln's shoulder next to rim. Very rare and you need a good glass to see it.
I still go through all coins before I dump them into a coin jar, which I will take once a year to Coinstar and get an Amazon gift card. (Coinstar charges a fee if you ask for cash back, but you’ll get full price for a gift card.) Last year I found a fairly trashed 1943 war penny, a silver Mercury dime (couldn’t believe that one), several Canadian coins (worthless. Coinstar won’t even take those.) and a 1961 silver Roosevelt dime. I always go through my pennies and save anything that is 1982 or prior, since they were the last real coppers.
