xWorld War II Steel Cent Sets

4 Different Styles To Choose From

The demands of World War II caused shortages everywhere. By 1943 the need of copper for the war effort became so acute that zinc coated steel was substituted for the making of one cent coins. This practice was ended after only one year because the hardness of the steel planchets caused excessive wear and damage to the dies.

This historic one year type set of 1943 Lincoln Steel Cents has a coin from each of the three U.S. Mints, Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco. They are reprocessed and look like new, but cost several times less. They come in an attractive plastic snap lock display holder.
