1943 LINCOLN STEEL W.W. II EMERGENCY ISSUE INB
1936 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper INB Graded Slab
This 1936 Lincoln Wheat Cent is a classic example of American numismatic history, struck in copper and preserved in a professional slab by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). As a key piece from the Great Depression era, this coin features the iconic bust of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the traditional wheat stalks on the reverse. The INB grading slab provides protection and features a green label identifying it as part of the Early Lincoln Cent series. This copper cent is an essential addition for collectors looking to complete a set of early 20th-century coinage or those specifically interested in the enduring legacy of the wheat penny design.
1943 Lincoln Steel Cent W.W. II Emergency Issue INB Slabbed
Condition: This coin exhibits a circulated appearance with visible oxidation and wear consistent with its age and metallic composition. The surfaces show typical darkening and lack of original luster, which is common for the steel and zinc-coated issues of this era. The strike type is business strike. The mint is Philadelphia, as indicated by the absence of a mint mark under the date. The metal content consists of a low-grade steel core coated with a thin layer of zinc. This specific issue was produced as a W.W. II emergency measure to conserve copper for the war effort, specifically for use in shell casings and communications wire. The coin is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) holder, though no specific numerical grade is assigned on the label.
