The old adage goes, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” For vintner Steven Contursi, a penny saved is more than $72,000 burned. The Napa Valley vineyard owner and California coin dealer’s boyhood quest for a rare find recently ended with the purchase of a 1943 bronze penny to the tune of $72,500.

A previously unrecorded 1943-S Lincoln cent, erroneously struck on a bronze planchet and found in circulation by a teenaged collector over a half century ago, has been acquired by Rare Coin Wholesalers of Dana Point, California.
The discovery coin now is certified as AU-53 by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation.
“The coin was found in 1944 by Kenneth S. Wing Jr. of Long Beach, California who was assembling a set of Lincoln cents at the time,” said Steven L. Contursi, President of Rare Coin Wholesalers (www.RCW1.com).
Wing became a prominent Southern California architect who co-designed the Long Beach Arena in the late 1950s. He passed away in 1996.
