Description
AU Details 1944-D Steel Cent
World War II Off-Metal Rarity
1944-D Cent -- Struck on a Zinc-Plated Steel Planchet, Damaged
-- NCS. AU Details. Weight 2.8 gm. Just as a handful of
1943-dated cents were struck on bronze planchets when they should
have been made in steel, so too did the change back to a
copper-based alloy create a suite of off-metal errors. This
1944-dated steel cent error was struck at Denver; branch mint
1944-dated steel cents are far rarer than their Philadelphia
counterparts. It is lightly rubbed, and at one time was subjected
to a number of unfortunate "test cuts" in the edge, which appear at
the lower obverse and upper reverse. These cuts notwithstanding,
this is an attractive and important 20th century error rarity that
should appeal to a wide range of collectors.
