The Penny you are thinking about is minted with a D on it, and there were only 100 made or something in a test run and then they were suppose to of been destroyed, I think the year is 1945, anyways they were made of a different material, do some searches to get the precise information, anyways only so many have shown up and the last one sold at auction for like 100,000 I think. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
