Description
1944 Lincoln Cent, MS62
Struck on an Experimental Planchet
69% Silver, 31% Copper
1944 1C Lincoln Cent -- Experimental Planchet -- MS62 PCGS.
Ex: Fred Weinberg Collection. 3.6 grams. 69% Silver, 31% copper.
During World War II, copper was an important munitions alloy, while
silver was not. For example, silver was added to the wartime
Jefferson nickel alloy, while copper and nickel were removed. One
can speculate that the present cent was intentionally struck as
part of an effort to replace the unsuitable 1943 steel cent alloy
yet reduce the copper content of 1944 cents. In any event, this
coin exists in its possibly unique silver-copper alloy. It is
lustrous and nicely struck with unmarked surfaces and light
golden-brown toning. The reverse has a railroad rim near 9 o'clock.
The rim is widest on the reverse near 5 o'clock, and narrowest on
the obverse near 5 o'clock.From The Fred Weinberg Collection.
