1943-D Steel Lincoln Cents NGC/PCGS MS67

The Lincoln Cent Goes to War!

When World War II broke out, Uncle Sam called on every American to make sacrifices for the war effort — and the United States Mint answered! In 1943, copper was desperately needed to support our troops fighting overseas. The metal was used for everything from communications equipment to ammunition. And so, the U.S. Mint gave up its supply, and for one year only struck the nation’s Lincoln Cents in zinc-coated steel.

These coins were the workhorse coins of World War II and were used every day in transactions ranging from buying a drink at the soda fountain to taking a break and heading to a movie double feature. Placed in circulation during the height of the Second World War, they were symbols of America’s determination to achieve final victory. It’s truly a historic coin that tells an incredible story.
