RE: MYSTERY PRIZE - CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS COIN? - Do YOU collect US COINS?
1943 zinc cent, no such thing as a USA penny. We referred them, as "steel cents," back then. They were still in circulation in the early 1960s. As were, Silver Mercury/Liberty dimes and Silver Liberty quarters & halves. All disappeared, quickly, in late 1960s.
Thanks @cve3 for this additional information on coins and silver times. I missed out on the silver coins in the late 60's. They were still around in the 70's and I was able to find them occassionally.
