UNIQUE PENNIES OF WORLD WAR II 1944-1946 Shell Case Lincoln Cent Collection

The 1944 - 1946 Lincoln cents are the "shell case" coins that were made with copper that was recovered from used shell cases on battleships and battlefields around the world. The shell cases were shipped back to the U.S. where they were melted and made into Pennies. The shell case Lincoln Pennies have the classic "wheat ears" reverse design. You get one from each mint that struck the shell case cents, Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. Coins are mounted in a coin card and come in an acrylic case.
