43 they came out with steel pennies, had to do with the war effort.
In 44....they made very few steel pennies on accident...now those can go for high five digits, to six digits. But there are tons of fakes of course.
Your 43s are worth very little, maybe 99 cents on ebay? Those are wheat pennies, and I think they are cool just cause its a war era.
All else fails and you can't google, go to ebay and type in what you got. You can see realized auction results, that will tell you a lot.
If they are not steel, its copper hoard. Any penny 80 on down, its majority copper. I leave out 81, cause there it gets confusing.
Good site
Coinflation.com
Almost completed my Carson City mint, Morgan silver dollar set.
I also, specifically collect Toned coins. And I am trying to complete the color wheel with toned wheat pennies ( naturally toned coins ) I have a template made that will go from front to end in the color spectrum, its sick lol. I am focusing on two colors at a time, blues and greens first.
Here are some toners from our neighbors

i sold mine years back . as a kid i was a paper boy and sorted all my coins . half dollars were a common tip for the holidays.
I read where most of our money tested positive for drugs.
I wonder if you realize that applies to coins too!lol!
I use a roll of nickles & a piece of plumbing pipe to make 'Nickle Pucks' from bubble hash.
Look close you can see Jeffersons Monticello!

At first JJ, i thought those wafers were just beat up coins with grime and verdigris lol. Thats pretty sweet man,
Call heads or tails for first rip lol
1g nickle
1g nickle
Thanks
I weighed out 1g of hash between each nickle. I can press about 5 at a time with the pipe I have. Each nickle is 1g of hash.
People love them as gifts. They are great 'stocking stuffers' at xmas time!lol!
As much fun to make as they are to use!

this isnt my pic, but its the same one i have.
whooops.
i was incorrect. thats just a 1$ silver bullion coin.
the 1920s liberty standing quarter is soo worn, i cannot see a date. had to do some research to figure out it was from the 1920s.
like this: (also not my pic)

>300 oz.s in morgons, liberties, libertads, and maple leafs.
don't even count the silver and clad coins.
some incuse gold $5 indianheads, and proof set of gold coins from 1/10 to one ounce.
silver proof sets from 1999 to 2009.
many silver rounds from the vegas casinos.
...and some gold and silver certs.

not much on the numismatic values but the bullion content remains.
puff puff...

shoot. that's only 3grams more than a one dollar face value coin...that's inflation.
What up trich.
I put the CC set aside for a bit, cause ive been deep into Roman/Athens type coins.
This is a sweet site I use to navigate between the types I like.

The only way for me to deal with what coins to buy is choosing a theme and going deep as I can lol. For Greek I choose different mints they had on various islands. I could go deeper into this but ill hold short unless there's interest in Ancients. I choose these specific mints because I love the ocean and they have various Dolphins/turtles, specific artists. etc.
Ill cut it short there lol.
Romans, I chose Emperors I had interest in, mainly early Rome of course. Funny thing is you can relate of a fucking butt load in their history to ours now. Certain emperors later on started cutting the silver out of their monies, making it less valuable, cause huge inflation, bread and circus etc etc...
I enjoy collecting coins with Marc Antony on them. He is one of my favorite characters. Slayed the broads, loved the wine and was a good commander.
Again being a tad vague, need to go back to jamming on my bass haha. But when I read and research the mid to later emperors, oi its scary. I see alot of full circles in our current history lol.

let us hope the parallels diverge. their fate not worse than ours...they were so much closer to the earth.
