Amid the transition, a few leftover bronze planchets from 1942 were mistakenly left in the minting machinery. These planchets were struck with 1943 dies, creating a handful of bronze cents that should never have existed.
When the first examples appeared in circulation in 1947, they immediately caught the public’s attention. People were astonished that such an oversight had occurred during a period of tight wartime control and precision.
Word spread rapidly through newspapers and collector circles. The coin quickly became the subject of fascination, inspiring both treasure hunts and speculation about how many might still be hidden in circulation.
