Description
1943 Lincoln Cent, AU50
Struck on a Silver Dime Planchet
1943 1C Lincoln Cent -- Struck on a Silver Dime Planchet -- AU50
PCGS Secure. Ex: Simpson. Most cents struck on dime planchets
are highly conspicuous, since the color differs from the usual red
to brown. But the 1943-dated cents were struck on zinc-plated steel
planchets, and thus are similar in color to untoned silver dimes.
The present wrong planchet error looks like a typical 1943 cent
upon first glance, but it was in circulation only briefly before a
sharp-eyed finder set it aside. The silver-gray surfaces are
lightly marked and display minor high point wear. As expected of
the slightly undersized flan, E PLURIBUS UNUM and the L in LIBERTY
are very tight against the rims. Few collectors can afford a bronze
1943 cent, but this different wrong planchet error is
affordable.Selections from The Bob R. Simpson Collection.
