      General Notes: The 1943-S bronze cent is a transitional rarity that was struck under the presumed condition that a few bronze planchets from the 1942 run of Lincoln cents were left behind in mint hoppers and accidentally struck with 1943 dies. All 1943-S bronze cents are extremely rare and highly sought after by a variety of collectors, including Lincoln cent enthusiasts. <BR><BR> On the rare occasion 1943-S bronze cents are offered for sale, they generally take well more than $150,000. In 2016, a PCGS AU58BN specimen crossed the block for $282,000.
