A 1943 1C Lincoln Steel Wheat Cent graded PCGS MS 64 DDR (Die Doubling) is already a noteworthy coin due to its historical significance and the unique material it's made of. Here's why it's special:
Steel Composition: In 1943, due to the scarcity of copper during World War II, Lincoln Cents were minted using steel instead. This one-year-only composition change makes the 1943 Steel Cent a distinct and historically significant coin.
PCGS MS 64 Grade: PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) is a highly respected coin grading authority, and a grade of MS 64 indicates that the coin is in Mint State condition with only minor imperfections. This high grade enhances the coin's desirability and value among collectors.
DDR (Die Doubling) Variety: DDR refers to a type of minting error where there is noticeable doubling of the design elements due to a misalignment of the coin die during the minting process. Coins with die varieties like DDR are sought after by collectors interested in error coins and varieties, adding further appeal to the 1943 Steel Cent.
Now, in addition to the rarity and historical significance of the 1943 Steel Cent, the inclusion of a FREE 1oz D-Day WWII Commemorative Proof Coin in 24kt Gold Plated with authentic sand from Normandy beach adds even more value and uniqueness to the offer. Here's why this additional coin is special:
Commemorative Theme: The D-Day WWII Commemorative Proof Coin pays tribute to one of the most significant events of World War II—the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Commemorative coins are issued to honor important historical events, making them highly collectible among numismatists and history enthusiasts.
24kt Gold Plating: The gold plating on the commemorative coin adds a touch of luxury and elegance. Gold is a precious metal with enduring value, and coins plated with 24kt gold are particularly prized for their beauty and intrinsic worth.
Authentic Sand from Normandy Beach: The inclusion of authentic sand from Normandy beach adds a tangible connection to the historic event being commemorated. Collectors value items with genuine historical significance, and incorporating authentic material from the actual site of the D-Day invasion enhances the appeal and authenticity of the commemorative coin.
Overall, the combination of the 1943 Steel Cent with a DDR variety and a D-Day WWII Commemorative Proof Coin in 24kt Gold Plated with authentic sand from Normandy beach creates a compelling and unique offering for collectors. Each component contributes to the historical narrative and collectibility of the set, making it a prized addition to any collection focused on World War II or numismatic history.
