1942 1C, RD
1942 1C MS66 Red NGC. Both copper and tin were vital war metals, yet more than 657 million 1942 Lincoln cents were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The following year, the Mint converted to zinc-coated steel cents to preserve the other metals. This Premium Gem 1942 example radiates mint luster from its vibrant, copper-red surfaces. There are no distracting marks or carbon speckles and the strike is razor-sharp. Selections From The Towers Collection. HID10510052018 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
