BEAUTIFULL LINCOLN PENNY COLLECTION - The set includes 12 Lincoln cents minted during World War II. A copper shortage in 1943 led the United States Government to issue a zinc coated steel penny. Shell casings were used in 1944 through 1946, which produced a slight color change from the original Lincoln Wheat Cent. The 1943 penny is the only US penny that may be picked up with a magnet. All dates are readable on each coin. The patriotic theme continues with a bald eagle holding a red, white and blue shield.
