The listing, ++ AU 1943 WWII ISSUE STEEL CENTS ++ **MINTS PDS** has ended.
Offered here are (3) 1943 silver colored Cents, which are wartime issues made of steel and coated with zinc. During World War II, copper was so badly needed for the war effort (to make shell casings) that the U.S.Cent was made out of steel that year, which is why most 1943 pennies are silver colored. Although I believe these coins may be circulated, all 3 are in Nice AU Condition. I replaced the 1943-D coin, because the original coin in this set had developed some rust spots. Please see pictures to judge/grade these coins. Free Shipping!!!
