PCGS 1943-S wheat cent struck 5% off-center on a silver dime planchet. An off-center off-metal, the coin is a solid 5% off-center, with planchet plainly visible.

The coin is struck on the smaller, silver dime planchet, which was intended for striking into a Mercury dime, but which instead was struck off-center in a cent press.

Although a number of 1943 cents on dime planchets are known, only 3 off-center 1943 cents on dime planchets are known to us, including this example--which is the finest of the 3, the others being lower grades.

A rare opportunity to own a 1943 cent on dime planchet that is struck off-center!

AU58 with light toning, and lightly cleaned some time ago (too minimally for PCGS to note it on the holder.) Sharp design details on most of the coin, adding to its eye-appeal (some cent on dime planchets are weakly struck, unlike this example.)
