The 1943 Steel Cent is a unique relic of World War II America. Once the United States joined the war effort, copper became a precious resource that was used for ammunition and other military supplies. So, every ounce of the U.S. Mint's copper supply was rerouted to the war effort. But, pennies still needed to be minted for circulation, so in 1943 the one cent coin was struck entirely out of steel! The unique circumstances that led to this coin make it an important piece of numismatic history. Now, you can get this unique 1943 steel cent with a fantastic MS65 grade from CAC Grading!
