1943-S Lincoln Cent, MS61
On a Silver Dime Planchet

1943-S 1C Lincoln Cent -- Struck on a Dime Planchet -- MS61 NGC. 1943 was the year of the zinc-plated steel cent. The present coin was struck on a 90% silver dime planchet, and the color closely resembles an unworn "steelie" cent. But a second look shows that E PLURIBUS UNUM is partial and has a stretched appearance, and no rim is evident on the lower obverse and upper reverse. The coin has the look of a slight off-center strike toward 5 o'clock, but instead the dime planchet was fed flush with collar die at 11 o'clock, and the planchet was not large enough to completely fill the dies. The untoned surfaces display unobtrusive abrasions on the lower left reverse.
