Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 2085)
The United States Mint replaced the bronze composition long used in making Lincoln cents with a zinc-coated steel format in 1943. This temporary change was made to help save copper for ammunitions used in fighting alongside the Allied Forces in World War II. The 1943-D steel cents are, like Philadelphia- and San Francisco-minted issues from the same year, very common coins in all circulated grades and in uncirculated levels through MS65. In MS 66, 1943-D Lincoln cents are scarce and in MS67 and MS68 are rare.

In all, more than 1 billion steel cents were struck, and they are commonly sold in sets of three, representing each of the three mints that struck the coins (Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco). These sets are especially popular with non-collectors and new collectors, who regard the steel cents as novelties and are often lured into the hobby with the purchase of these inexpensive but attractive three-coin'sets.
Obverse: Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date and mintmark (If any) positioned on the right side.
Reverse: Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter.

About CDN Prices

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.

CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.

Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.

Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.

CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.

Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.

The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value. CDN Publishing is not responsible for typographical or database-related errors. Your use of this site indicates full acceptance of these terms.
