I have a 1959 D Lincoln cent that looks like it is made out of steel It 1943 cent. What would the value this be at least AU in condition?

A 1959-D Lincoln cent that looks like it is made out of steel is likely a steel cent, not a copper cent. The United States Mint produced steel cents in 1943 due to the shortage of copper during World War II. However, the Mint did not produce steel cents in 1959.

If you have a 1959-D cent that looks like it is made out of steel, it is likely a fake or altered coin. Genuine steel cents from 1943 are rare and valuable, but a 1959-D cent that looks like it is made out of steel is not.

The value of a genuine 1943 steel cent in AU condition can range from $100 to several hundred dollars, depending on the specific condition and grade of the coin. However, a 1959-D cent that looks like it is made out of steel has no numismatic value and is worth only its face value of one cent.
