IDENTIFY THE MAIN IDEA
A penny for your thoughts? If it’s a 1943 copper penny, it could be worth as much as fifty thousand dollars. In 1943, most pennies were made out of steel since copper was needed for World War II, so the 1943 copper penny is ultra-rare. Another rarity is the 1955 double die penny. These pennies were mistakenly double stamped, so they have overlapping dates and letters. If it’s uncirculated, it’d easily fetch $25,000 at an auction. Now that’s a pretty penny.
a)
The 1943 copper penny
b)
The material of the penny is all that is important.
c)
Rare and valuable pennies
d)
Make sure to collect your pennies for further auctions.
