Description
1943-S Lincoln Steel Cent, MS68+
Sole Finest Prooflike Example
1943-S 1C MS68+ Prooflike PCGS. Many steel cents are
semiprooflike, although coins with definable mirrors are rare. PCGS
reports no Prooflike examples of the either the Philadelphia or
Denver steel issues, and only 10 Prooflike 1943-S coins. This
piece, Plus designated and virtually flawless, is the sole finest
of those 10 (12/25). Fully defined details span the central devices
as well as the border legends. The fields are profoundly
reflective, such that the obverse has a subtle cameo effect. The
field reflectivity stems from die polishing. On the reverse, faint
striations remain visible, while on the obverse the fields are
nearly mirrorlike, with only some lapping at the bottom of
Lincoln's lapel betraying the polished die surfacing. PCGS
Population: 2 in 68 (1 in 68+), 0 finer (12/25).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 92717, Base PCGS# 2717, Greysheet# 213803)
Weight: 2.70 grams
Metal: 100% Zinc Coated Steel
