50-Piece Rolls Of Lincoln Cents Struck From World War II Bullet Cases!
During World War II, copper became an important natural resource for the war effort—so important, in fact, that for a time the United States Mint was forced to strike pennies in steel because the nation’s copper supplies had been allocated for the production of shell casings. Once the war was over, those same shell casings were brought back home, melted down, and used to strike new copper pennies!
The Pennies That Went to War
This set of 50 “Shell Case” Lincoln Cents features pennies struck by the “Mother Mint” in Philadelphia during 1944. The coins will come protected in a circular numismatic coin tube. And, while each coin also comes in Circulated condition, they still feature loads of details still visible nearly 80 years after they entered circulation. Your World War-II era pennies will also come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Also included is a genuine 1942 $10 Occupation Note used during World War II. Lock and load this massive set of Shell Case Pennies into your cart now and share the story of how your pennies “went to war!”
