1942 Lincoln Cent. NGC graded MS-64. An amazing error, the planchet is obviously made of brass and the coin has a distinctive appearance quite unlike a normal copper cent! Further, the color is bright and mint fresh, without heavy spots or other problems, just a few scattered minor specks to note the passage of time. There is a trace of a fingerprint on the upper obverse, otherwise the coin is basically as struck. Examination with a glass will only note a few trivial signs of handling, and the surfaces remain very close to gem condition.
It is probable that this error was created in a similar fashion to the 1943 copper cents, perhaps a bin of Ecuador dimes had just been struck at the Philadelphia Mint, then a tub of copper planchets were dumped in the bin for coining Lincoln Cents. Apparently two planchets remained in the bin from the Ecuador dimes, and were struck with Lincoln Cent dies. Records show that two 1942 cents are known struck on brass planchets, and this is one of those two (See Judd under Mint Errors). With modern rarities routinely commanding five figure prices at auction, this early 20th century error with a proven population of just two coins should prove to be a bargain. Further, it fits hand in glove with the 1943 copper cent error, and 1944 zinc cent errors. Employees at the Philadelphia Mint were no doubt distracted with the World War, and quality control slipped a notch. A foremost opportunity for the specialist to purchase a truly rare error coin. This ones comes with an NGC Photo Proof certificate.
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
