Reverse "S" Barber Dime (1892-1916). Conspiracy theorists think "S" indicates "Satan" or "Serpent," hinting money design fraud. The coin's San Francisco Mint origin is proven, claim numismatists.

The US minted steel pennies in 1943 due to copper shortages. We made some bronze planchets from last year. Collectors value these rare "error" coins.
