USA.1943.One Cent.(Bronze). Transitional Errors.Obverse. |
In United State, many numismstist considered this 1943"Copper"Cent to be the "King of Mint Error".Only 20 pcs known.How it happens?
A few bronze planchets from the previous year were remained in tote bins that transported new planchets to the coining presses.These leftover bronze planchets eventually worked themselves loose from the inside of the tote bins and found their way into the mint press, where they were struck from 1943-dated dies which were intended
for the zinc-coated steel used that year to conserve copper for World War II.Most of the 1943 pennies are steel-gray in colour.
They called this the "Transitional Errors".It occurs when a coin is struck on a planchet from a previous year with different metal composition.Is extreamly rare.
for the zinc-coated steel used that year to conserve copper for World War II.Most of the 1943 pennies are steel-gray in colour.
The 1943 One Cents Coin struck on bronze planchets are known from three United State Mints that were operational that year.There are:
-14 examples of the 1943-P (Philadelphia Mint)Bronze Cent,
-4 examples of the 1943-S(San Francisco Mint) Bronze Cent,and just
-1example of the 1943-D(Denver Mint)Bronze Cent.
Auction prices realized for some of these rare errors from the late 1990s and early years of the 21st century ranged from USD75,000.00 to USD200,000.00 per piece.
