Description
Near-Mint 1944 Steel Planchet Error Cent
1944 1C --Struck on a Steel Planchet--AU58 NGC. 2.78 gm. While wrong-planchet errors are staples for the oddities enthusiast, few such pieces have achieved widespread currency among regular-series collectors. The 1944 steel cents, struck a year after the Mint's one-off production of coins in that metal, have gained general acceptance, and many high-end collectors will procure an example as a fascinating complement to a set of Lincoln cents.This steel-gray example shows occasional dots of sage in the fields. The strike is a touch soft, as usual for coins made of steel, but the devices show only a trace of friction. A fascinating representative that should find an appreciative home with a discerning enthusiast.
