1943-D Lincoln Cent MS-66 NGC
During a period of global conflict, the United States altered the composition of its minor coinage. This 1943 Lincoln Cent represents that unique era, struck in zinc-coated steel rather than the traditional copper alloy. Minted in Denver, as indicated by the small D mint mark below the date, this piece survived the decades in an exceptional state of preservation. The obverse features the familiar profile of Abraham Lincoln, accompanied by the inscriptions of national identity and liberty. On the reverse, the design is framed by two wheat stalks enclosing the denomination of one cent and the name of the issuing nation. Graded Mint State 66 (MS-66), this coin showcases the bright, reflective quality characteristic of the steel cents of this single year of issue.
