    Cents were minted out of steel in 1943 because copper was needed for the war effort. They were minted in huge numbers and are still readily available today. Not much value but a nice piece of history.

    I don’t get it? Why can’t this be seen as an error. Is this not obviously an error??? What gives.

    If you want information on something specific on a coin, then you need to explain exactly what you want to know, for instance, "What caused the doubling on Lincoln's bust?" There are several types of doubling, most of which are not considered errors and add no value, the steel cents were plagued by die deterioration so most likely that or some machine doubling. Someone more focused on doubling will most likely respond. Again, with a question like "USA Peace Dollar?" The only answer is, yes it is a USA Peace Dollar, if you have a specific question about it, I would suggest starting another thread and ask exactly what you want to know.

    Besides being specific in what you want to know (this way we are not guessing)
    please post each coin on a different thread. It gets confusing when there is more
    than one coin per post.

    The 1st time a cent had a P mint mark was 2017. This was in celebration the US Mints 225th anniversary. The P mint mark was removed in 2018.
