This 1943 Lincoln Wheat Cent was struck in zinc-coated steel at the Philadelphia Mint—part of the U.S. wartime effort to conserve copper. The coin features Lincoln’s profile on the obverse with “1943” date and no mint mark, and the classic wheat reverse. Encased in a vintage 2x2 holder with visible aging. A key type coin for collectors of WWII-era U.S. currency and a staple in any Lincoln set. Condition Notes: - Circulated with moderate wear - No mint mark (Philadelphia issue) - Holder shows age but remains secure
