Owner Comments:

Ex: Louis Eliasberg, Jr.

The mint returned to producing copper cents in 1944, using copper that was recovered from used shell cases on battleships and battlefields during World War II. On full red coins, the copper carries a slightly different color tone, and sometimes exhibits unusual toning or streaking, although this coin is nearly normal in color and fully red.
