GRADED NGC MS64

US San Francisco Mint

Because of World War II, many of the mints
of Europe could not produce and distribute coins for their distant colonies. The
mint of the United States filled in this gap by producing, among others, Fijian
pennies for two years. It's struck in brass instead of copper-nickel because
nickel was desperately needed for munitions and other wartime industry. Because
it was struck at San Francisco instead of the British Royal Mint, it bears the
mint-mark ''S'' above the first N in ''PENNY''.
