Judd-2054, Zinc-Coated Steel, CAC
1942 1C Cent, Judd-2054, Pollock-2074, RB 42-23, High R.7, MS63
NGC. CAC. Ex: Donald G. Partrick Collection. Burdette's third
reverse. The 1942 LIBERTY JUSTICE pattern cents were struck to test
various alloys to substitute for copper, which was needed for
munitions during World War II. The alloy experiments culminated in
the zinc-plated steel 1943 cent, thus the present alloy was the
"winner" among many candidates, including plastic and fiber. This
silver-gray specimen is evenly struck and exhibits unmarked, smooth
surfaces. A few pinpoint, deep-gray flecks visit the obverse
margins. About a dozen pieces are known, some described as proofs
an others as Mint State coins. This lot comes with an unstruck
(1943) Zinc Coated Steel planchet weighing 2.84 grams. Both coins
were previously held in The Donald G. Partrick Collection.
