The 1943 Philadelphia 1-cent coin, commonly known as a wheat penny, is significant in collectible coinage as it was produced during World War II. This coin is unique because, during this year, most pennies were minted in zinc-coated steel due to copper shortages. However, the 1943 Philadelphia mint also produced a small number of copper cents, which are highly sought after by collectors. The 1c roll typically contains 50 coins, providing collectors with an opportunity to acquire multiple pieces of the same type. The rarity and historical context of the 1943 cents contribute to their value in the numismatic market.
