1946-P Lincoln Cent "Shell Case Pennies" 50-pc Circular Roll

50-Piece Rolls Of Lincoln Cents Struck From World War II Bullet Cases!

During World War II, copper became an important natural resource for the war effort–so important, in fact, that for a time the United States Mint was forced to strike pennies in steel because the nation's copper supplies had been allocated for the production of shell casings. Once the war was over, those same shell casings were brought back home, melted down, and used to strike new copper pennies!

The Pennies That Went to War

This set of 50 "Shell Case" Lincoln Cents features pennies struck by the "Mother Mint" in Philadelphia during 1946. The coins will come protected in a circular numismatic coin tube.
