Invisible text
editThere is some invisible text that reads "In the American Girl series, the "Molly" doll, who lives during World War II, has a pretend steel penny which is a part of her set.<ref name="amerigirl">American Girl Dolls. [http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/ProductPage.jsf/itemId/78473/itemType/SET/webTemplateId/3/uniqueId/70/saleGroupId/318 Molly Doll, Book & Accessories]. Accessed 2008-09-08. "In this collection, even more items bring Molly’s story to life: [...] A replica 1943 “steel” penny, used during the war when copper was in short supply"</ref>" this could actually be a section "in popular culture" or "cultural references". If no one will protest I will add this new section. Donald Trung (talk) 06:10, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
- Good catch - adding the section will enhance the article. :O) - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) 02:40, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
Discrepancies
editThis page cites 2.8g and 2.7g for the steel penny. Which is it?
Also, the highest price for a penny was $1.7 million, and then later on for $373,750 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.91.28.239 (talk) 19:31, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
Contradictory Statements
editThe 1943 Copper Cent sections states "one mint condition specimen sold for over $1.7 million in 2008. "
But the 1944 Steel Cent section states "$373,750 in an August 2008 auction held by Heritage Auctions; this was the highest auction price ever for a Lincoln cent until September 23, 2010, when it was superseded by a 1943-D bronze penny."
I would fix this myself but I was reading the article because I don't know squat about the subject so, I'm not a good candidate for this fix. Mad Bunny (talk) 03:45, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- Mad Bunny Thanks for pointing that out. The $1.7 million coin was the coin sold in 2010. The article has been corrected and a citation was added to avoid further confusion. - ZLEA T\C 14:46, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- ZLEA Thank you and I'm sorry to have not completed such an easy edit myself.....I'm just very wary of editing subjects out of my expertise because the revert of a 'OK...even I can fix that' edit oweing to some goofy technicality really makes me want to kick a box of kittens.
Not really but, you know.... Cheers! Mad Bunny (talk) 23:50, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
