Only five examples are known of the 1943-S Bronze Cent. This is an extremely rare coin that has not shown up with the frequency of the 1943 Bronze Cent, despite intense searching. This is also the most difficult of all the 1943/1944 off-metals to find in nice condition. The discovery date for this off-metal error appears to be 1944, when a young 14 year-old collector found a 1943-S Bronze Cent in circulation.
