Description: The coin you will receive will look different than the one in the pictures. The pictures are to represent the coin you will receive. The coin in the pictures grades the same as you will receive. No two coins are exactly the same but your coin will grade as advertised (please see the grading scale below). These 1943 -P Lincoln Wheat Cent are made from steel and coated with zinc. They made these pennies out of steel during World War Two. They saved the copper to make ammunition. I think they were a mistake. It seems to me they could have came up with something better. The zip rubs off sometimes. Nearly anything will scratch them. Once the zinc gets worn off they start rusting. This is why most circulated examples of steel pennies are ugly rusting with zinc coming off. These pennies have some slight toning. If you are looking for a mint state 1943 -P cent search my shop for 1943. When finished I will have three classes of conditions to choose from. I have/had 1) mint state 1943, 2) Uncirculated with some slight toning 3) These nice-looking uncirculated cents. The prices drop with the quality. All of the conditions of the coins are impressive unless you are used to seeing very high-grade pennies. I picked through a whole lot of coins to separate into conditions. I would not put any of these for sale if they were problem coins. I have sold a lot of BU 1943 cents and I take it personally. If you buy one and are not satisfied I will return your money because these are quality coins for a good price, When you get one I suggest you seal the penny from the elements. A little condensation on the cent in storage would end in rust. I am just saying to treat these like a baby. If you don't you'll be the proud owner of a rusty penny. I can buy pennies in bulk for a better price and then pass the savings to you. It is not practical to list each coin individually. Plus eBay thinks multiple listings for the same coin would be spamming eBay. Therefore, picturing one coin to represent the quantity is the way to go. I sell coins by grade so you can be sure of getting a quality coin. You can be sure of receiving a coin that grades as in the listing. See below for a grading guide. Going by the guide to grade coins is my ultimate aim. This Wheat Cent Copper Penny is made of 95% Copper, 5% TiN, and Zinc, and features a beautiful red color. The strike type is Business, and the fineness is 0.95. The Lincoln Wheat Cent is an ungraded coin and circulated. It was minted in San Francisco, Denver, or Philadelphia, United States. This coin is a great addition to any collection and a must-have for enthusiasts. General Coin Grading As I inspect a coin I check its grade but I always ask myself if I would want it in my own collection. Each collector knows what condition coins they collect and everyone is different. Coins can be attractive in BU or AG conditions or unattractive. I am very careful only to sell coins I think look satisfactory regardless of grade.Dirt and or grime is considered a normal element of old coins. Dirt does not affect the grade of a coin.No culls such as but not limited to beat up coins, bad dents, scraps, bad scratches on focal points of the coin, badly corroded, holed, harshly cleaned coins, badly stained or they just don't suit my eye. I sell no such problem coins unless the defect(s) are pointed out in the item description.If you ever get a coin that doesn't meet my description please let me know ASAP before contacting eBay. Regardless of my official policy, I'll make good on a bad coin. I inspect hundreds of coins each week. I'm human and likely will make a mistake from time to time.I can do more to correct an issue than eBay can and I'm quicker to deal with. It's in my best interest to only sell satisfactory coins and provide quality service. I don't want bad reviews and will correct negative issues as quickly as possible.
