1943-1946 Lincoln Cent 4-Coin Set Very Fine & 1943-1944 WWII Axis Overrun Countries 13-Stamp Collection & 3 Bonus Stamps

Product Description

1943-1946 Lincoln Cent 4-Coin Set VF – During WWII, copper destined for U.S. coinage was instead diverted to the war effort. In 1943, the mint issued a pioneering steel cent, but its composition created problems in commerce. Pennies struck from 1944 to 1946 were minted with copper retrieved from recycled shell casings. These historic coins are no longer found in pocket change and are getting harder and harder to locate. Our four coin set includes an example of each date in Very Fine condition. Our choice of issuing mint based on availability.

Complete 1943-1944 WWII Axis Overrun Countries 13-Stamp Collection & 3 Bonus Stamps – This set honors 13 countries that fell under Axis occupation during WWII.

Three commemorative U.S. stamps that were issued to bolster America's support of the war are also included as a bonus.
