In 1940...
- The year began with Britain rationing meat, sugar, and butter.
- By the middle of the year the United States sells surplus war material to Great Britain.
- By November President Franklin D. Roosevelt gets elected to a third term over some Republican.
All that time these little cents were being made. (Note I took these with my camera not the usual scanner and the reverse came out very blurry.)
There are varieties to this coin that involve minor Doubled Dies on the reverse but this isn't one of those.Type/Country: 1 Cent/United States
Year: 1940
Mintages: 586,810,000
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc
Value: $0.15 in G-4
This was just a simple end of the day find in my change. I'm not sure what store I got it in but even to find something is nice.

Hey I found a 1939 one while I was cleaning my car. You can get a special penny coin album right?

Yes folders are pretty cheap about $5.00. You just push the coin in the slot.
Albums are a bit more expensive at $20.00-$30.00 but it keeps coins safer in PVC-free sleeves.
1939 in good is about $0.15 so this type is better in a folder.
i have four wheat cents. they are all in the 1900's and i have looked up many of them. all of them are under 1960. the oldest one is from 1927 but it is real worn down and it has a mint mark but i am not sure what it says. the second one is from 1940 it is in goodish condition it only has a few scratches on the revers of lincons head.the third on is from 1944 which saddens me because i know that there is a 1943 penny floating around and it is not worth as much as the 1943 penny at all. and the last one is from 1958 and it is in good condition.none of these are worth any more then .25c they are all american. although i do have a currentish 1974 canadian penny and a new 2004 spain euro penny. what do you think the worths are?

wheat penny the last digit on date is missing first number is a 4 also minted in san francisco
About $0.03 the missing digit is either a weak strike or struck though grease error either way it lowers the value.
