1943 Bronze Lincoln Penny Front
Just like the 1943-D Lincoln Bronze penny, this coin was mistakenly struck in bronze as well. While it was not the only one struck at the mint, it is still a rather distinct coin. We say this because it was the sole “red” penny created at the Philadelphia Mint during that specific year.

This was such a rare coin since the coins made in the Philadelphia mint do not have a mint mark. In 2018, the coin in this photo was bought in a private sale that happened in Tampa, Florida. The amount is undisclosed, but we know that it was valued at more than a million dollars at the time.
