1943 United States – 1 Cent | 2.7 g | 19 mm | Zinc-Coated Steel | Circulation Issue AUNC | Philadelphia / Denver / San Francisco | Limited Mintage: 684 M

Issued during World War II, this iconic 1943 Steel Cent replaced traditional copper due to wartime shortages. Featuring the portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and wheat ears on the reverse, these coins are popularly known as “Steelies.” Unique for being magnetic and silver in appearance, they stand out as one of the most unusual issues in U.S. coinage history.

Struck in zinc-coated steel, these coins often show natural spotting due to their composition.
