ER600 Very rare 1943 Lincoln Cent. Double Struck, 2nd Strike 70% Off Center. CAC MS62. This is an extremely rare and collectible mint error coin due to the following reasons: first, it is a one-year type coin with a unique composition and historical significance from World War II. It only lasted for a year due to its unpopularity as a form of currency; however, steel cents are popular coins both from the standpoint of collecting and in terms of their marketability to non-collectors, many of whom have never seen steel cents before. Dealers, particularly the major distributors, often sell 1943 steel cents to non-collectors as a type of gateway coin to hook non-numismatists into collecting. Secondly, this is one of the most dramatic doubled-struck cents in the entire Lincoln cent series; this coin features two Lincoln heads struck in the obverse. Thirdly, it is very well preserved, and it has been graded in mint state. In the past, high grade 1943 Lincoln cents have sold for thousands in auction. 

This mint error steel cent should be one of the most important and collectible mint error Lincoln cents series due to its historical significance, one year type, and its uniqueness. In its lifetime of Lincoln cent series, the U.S. Mint has struck over 548 billion and it produced many copper Lincoln cent mint error during its lifetime; however, steel Lincoln cent mint error is most important part of the mint error in the whole Lincoln cent series. In comparison to the 20 existing 1943 mint error bronze cents, which have sold for 300K to 800K at auction and the “Holy Grail” 1943 bronze cent mint error that sold for 1.7 million, this coin is clearly a different kind of rarity and a bargain. If you own a 1943 bronze or 1944 steel cent then you really should consider adding this to your error collection to complete the war time major Lincoln cent error collection.
