Off Metal 1943-S Cent, AU55
Struck on a Silver Dime Planchet

1943-S 1C Lincoln Cent -- Struck on a Silver Dime Planchet -- AU55 PCGS. Struck the same year that cents were issued in zinc-plated steel alloy, the present off metal error has the first-glance appearance of a typical 1943-S cent. Nonetheless, its unusual characteristics caused it to disappear promptly from commerce, since both sides display substantial luster. Due to the slightly undersized flan, the strike is soft on Lincoln's forehead and shoulder, and the tops of WE TRUST are off the flan. The remaining legends are intact, although the 3 in the date is lightly impressed. Mostly silver-gray with blushes of forest-green. A pair of small roundish marks are noted above the left wheat ear.
