Description:
A Change in Our Change
Metallic Shortage Leads to New Coin
Composition
Following
the attack at Pearl Harbor, the US had to modify the components in our coinage
from copper to steel/ zinc so the copper could be used for materials in World
War II.
This set includes a
1943 Steel/Zinc Cent
and a
United States Steel
Corporation Stock Certificate.
The
1943 Steel/Zinc Penny is a nice average circulated example from the P Mint
that’s free of tin pest or corrosion.
The Stock Certificate has a center vignette that features an
inside-look of the workers in a steel foundry. It was issued by the United
States Steel Corporation and engraved by the American Bank Note Company. The
stock certificate has been cancelled. As we have multiple certificates in
stock, it may vary in color (gold, green, brown), serial number, shares,
recipient, cancel date, preferred/ common stock, or issuer.
This Steel Pair makes an exciting addition to even the
finest of collections, as it is worthy of a coveted spot on a wall in a home,
office, or den. It also serves to be an incredible gift for history buffs, coin
collectors, jewelers, and steel enthusiasts.
Although we find this couple
to be an exciting offer that is certainly fair amongst numismatic collectible
standards, we are pleased to consider a reasonable counteroffer should you feel
a discount would land this item into your collection.
