Original 1943-P Lincoln Wheat Cent made of zinc-coated steel, minted in Philadelphia during World War II. This coin is an iconic piece of wartime American numismatic history, issued when copper was urgently needed for the war effort. Easily identified by its silvery appearance and magnetic quality, this issue stands out as the only regular-issue U.S. coin made from steel. It was part of a short-lived but highly significant series, reflecting the nation’s resourcefulness during a time of global conflict.
A must-have for collectors of wartime coinage, Lincoln cents, or historically significant U.S. mint issues.
