Description

Rare 1944-D Steel Cent, NGC MS 62

1944-D Steel Cent MS 62 NGC. A rare off-metal striking of a cent struck from a leftover planchet from 1943. The significance of this piece is more obvious after the sale of the 1943-D copper cent for $82,500 at a recent Superior sale. Magnetic, of course, the surfaces of this coin retain much original mint luster but have also taken on a spotty brown and gray overtone with several specks of carbon scattered about. One of the most sought after error coins in U.S. numismatics.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28N9, PCGS# 9450, GSID# 10334)
