Post WWII cent!

In 1951 America had just survived a huge depression in the 30s, the biggest war in history in the 40s and things were finally starting to seem normal (except for the possibility of nuclear war). People were making more money and spending more money and there was the baby boom that led to millions of American children being born. This cent was also issued. It is a 1951-S with nothing too special about it except the seldom seen mint mark. The reason for this is because since 1971 the San Fransisco mint only makes higher end coins for collectors. It is only worth about copper value or $0.03-$0.05 because it is so worn and has many scratches. It is still cool though.
