1943 Steel Cent Strip--History

Posted by JonSullivan on May 26th 2016

Here is a interesting article on the 1943 steel cent strip, written by David Lange of NGC. The article gives some of the background of the 1943 steel cents, and then talks about how the pieces of steel cent strip came onto the coin market. We have handled many pieces over time, and all of it was rusty to some extent--this article will explain to you why that is. http://www.coinweek.com/dealers-companies/ngc-dealers-companies/usa-coin-album-steel-cent/
