1943 Lincoln Cent. MS-68 (PCGS). Virtually pristine surfaces are fully struck with a silky smooth, softly frosted texture throughout. Flashy and platinum-white with scattered die cracks and traces of die polishing. The Philadelphia Mint issue is the rarest 1943-dated Zinc-Coated Steel cent in the finest Mint State grades, as here. A spectacular Ultra Gem that will please even the most discerning Lincoln cent enthusiast. Only 2 coins have been certified finer by PCGS.
