Description
1944 Cent, Struck on Steel Planchet
Rare and Important Error
1944 1C Struck on a Zinc-Coated Steel Planchet -- Corroded --
ANACS Genuine. Steel-gray, whitish, and russet hues combine to
make up the patina of this rare cent, with the last due to
corrosion, as mentioned on the ANACS slab. While details are
slightly obscured, this is one of the most important error Lincoln
cents as well as U.S. error coins overall. Similar to its older
sibling, the 1943 cent struck on a copper planchet, this error was
produced when a few zinc-coated steel planchets remained at the
bottom of the barrel at the start of 1944 cent production.
