Question
i have a set of (5) coins in a sealed package . need info.

Answer
Sorry, can't really help you here.  I've never heard of a set of 5 1943 cents in a sealed package.  It could be some dealer put this together, and then the set would be worth what the individual coins are worth.  I'd try two things -- 1. go to www.ebay.com and do a search for 1943 cent and maybe sealed package too.  See what people are selling and maybe you'll see something like what you have.  2.  go to www.google.com and do a similar search and see if anyone has a website with what you have.  Good luck and happy holidays, Jim Lawniczak
