About Me

My lifelong fascination with numismatics began, surprisingly, with a single Washington one-cent piece. Even as a child, I was captivated by the intricate details visible under magnification – a world unseen by the casual observer. The 1943 Lincoln "Wheat" cent, primarily struck in steel due to wartime metal rationing, holds a particular significance for me. The extremely rare instances of copper-alloy 1943 cents mistakenly produced during that period ignited a passion for discovering anomalies.
