Lot Description

Virtually pristine surfaces are fully struck with a silky smooth, satin to softly frosted texture throughout. There are none of the detracting carbon spots or other blemishes often associated with Lincoln cents struck in this unstable metallic composition, allowing one to focus on a flashy platinum-white appearance. The Philadelphia Mint issue is the rarest 1943-dated zinc-coated steel cent in the finest Mint State grades, as here. A spectacular Ultra Gem that will please even the most discerning Lincoln cent enthusiast.
