Description
1942 Cent in Zinc-Coated Steel
Judd-2054, MS61
Rare World War II Pattern
1942 1C Cent, Judd-2054, RB 42-23, High R.7, MS61 NGC.
Copper was needed for munitions during World War II, and the U.S.
Mint was directed to remove that metal from the cent. Patterns were
struck in various materials from dies that borrowed motifs from the
KM-198 Columbia two centavos and a Baker-155 Washington medalet.
Burdette's third reverse; the A in STATES is entered low relative
to ST. This design is most often encountered in compressed molded
phenol (Judd-2060), but we are not quite certain what this piece is
composed of. RB 42-23 is zinc-coated steel, but we see none of the
brightness of zinc or residue. The surfaces are dull gray with
minor porosity over both sides. Of course, zinc-coated steel was
the alloy eventually chosen for the issued 1943 cent. The strike
shows minor blending, particularly on STATES. No marks are evident.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AN4, PCGS# 12210, Greysheet# 69134)
