1943 US Lincoln Steel Cent NGC MS-66 WWII Bazooka Bag Frag

1943 NGC MS-66 American Lincoln Steel Cent – WWII Bazooka Bag Frag The 1943 Lincoln Steel Cent holds a unique place in American coinage history as the only year the United States Mint struck cents in steel. During World War II, copper became essential for ammunition and military production, prompting the Mint to conserve the metal by replacing it with zinc-coated steel for one year. These wartime cents quickly became symbols of national sacrifice and resourcefulness.
