Description
1943 Lincoln Cent, XF40
on a Silver Dime Planchet
1943 1C Lincoln Cent -- Struck on a Silver Dime Planchet -- XF40
PCGS Secure. 1943 was the year that Lincoln cents were struck
on zinc-plated steel planchets, to reserve copper for the war
effort. Since a 1943 cent struck on a silver dime planchet looked
similar, upon cursory inspection, to a regular issue cent of that
year, the coin remained in circulation for a few years. Eventually,
a collector noticed the proximity of WE TRUST and UNUM to the rim,
and those legends exhibit the distortion associated with metal flow
toward the border. The silver-gray surfaces show moderate wear but
are unblemished.
