1944 WWII 440 steel penny ....and a 1873 penny featuring an Indian head instead of Abraham Lincoln. Both pennies are worth enough money to pay for the project, but they also ended up on the floor.

And they wanted to be "green"

Hate to think how they vote......

“1944 WWII 440 steel penny”

Hey! I have a couple of those in my old blue penny folders that I filled in the Fifties. Some of the SDVB pennies too. Are they really worth something?

Wait a minute - pennies were made of steel in 1943. A 1944 steel penny would be worth about $100,000.

Ah! Phooey! Mine are probably 1943 pennies. Gotta dig ‘em out and take a look.

Because most artists are dumb libs who get a F- in practical thinking.

The 1944 steel penny isn’t worth much. Unless there was something real unique about the minting.
