This vintage 1943 Lincoln Wheat cent was struck at the San Francisco Mint during World War II, displaying the classic "S" mint mark beneath the date. Because of wartime copper shortages, this unique historical issue was produced using a zinc-coated steel composition. This piece has been professionally authenticated and graded by NGC as MS 64, certifying it in excellent Mint State condition with sharp design details. The surfaces show some noticeable spots on the obverse side, which is common for these wartime steel issues due to the nature of the zinc plating. It comes securely protected in a third-party NGC holder, making it a great addition to any wartime or Lincoln cent collection.
