Offered is an exquisite bright and satiny example of this popular World War II era issue. The surfaces are exceptionally well preserved for a type that is usually encountered with detracting spots and other blemishes, even in Mint State. The strike is razor sharp and the repunched mintmark is bold. Among the finest certified for the FS-501 variety, and ideal for an advanced Lincoln cent collection or holding focused on the Second World War.Serving as the "arsenal of democracy" for the Allied effort to defeat the Axis powers, the United States made two significant changes to the coinage composition during World War II to reserve raw materials that were critical for armament production. One of these changes affected the Lincoln cent, whose composition in 1943 was changed to zinc-coated steel to save copper for the war effort. The project succeeded in its goal of routing copper to where it was most needed, but the zinc-coated steel composition proved less than satisfactory as a replacement. The light color of these coins led to numerous instances of confusion with the dime, and the composition itself was highly susceptible to spotting, corrosion and other forms of environmental damage. The present Superb Gem is expertly preserved and highly attractive and will be in high demand among collectors. One of the boldest varieties in the entire Lincoln cent series, the secondary D is readily evident to the southwest of the primary mintmark. An important offering that is sure to see spirited bidding at auction.
