1943 Steel Lincoln Wheat Cent Set - A collection of US one-cent coins issued in 1943. These coins are struck in zinc-coated steel, a wartime composition used to divert copper to military production.

Several coins bear a D mint mark below the date, signifying production at the Denver Mint, while others lack a mint mark, indicating they were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The reverse design consists of two stalks of wheat flanking the denomination ONE CENT and the issuer UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, with the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM positioned at the top. The coins have a plain, smooth edge.
