About this Product
 

The 1943 Lincoln Steel Cent from the Philadelphia Mint in NGC MS67 condition is a piece of Americana, encapsulating a unique historical period during World War II. This coin is a symbol of resilience and adaptability, reflective of the American spirit in times of adversity.

In 1943, at the height of World War II, copper was in dire need for war materials. The U.S. Mint was asked to forgo the use of copper in pennies to preserve this valuable resource for war efforts, resulting in the creation of the iconic 1943 Lincoln Steel Cent. This penny was made from zinc-coated steel instead of the traditional copper, a decision that underlines the sacrifices made on the home front for the war overseas.

These coins, minted in Philadelphia, are among the few that survived in exceptional condition. Graded MS67 by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), this coin exhibits brilliant luster, sharp details, and minimal marks or hairlines.

On the obverse, the coin features a powerful and enduring image of President Abraham Lincoln, whose legacy of unity and resolve resonates with the challenging times during which this coin was produced. The reverse showcases the emblematic wheat ears design, symbolic of American abundance and prosperity.
