"The United States large cent was a coin with a face value of 1/100 of a United States dollar. Its diameter varied between 27mm and 29mm.

Robert Scot redesigned the whole of United States coinage for 1796, applying a new design featuring a bust of Liberty wearing a drapery at the neckline and a ribbon in her flowing hair. The reverse design now featured an olive wreath. As with earlier types, several minor revisions to the design were made in the first few years, with the final 1797 design lasting through the end of the type in 1807."

Steel Cents Wartime 1943, lot of 3, P, D, S
"The 1943 steel cent was a variety of the U.S. one-cent coin which was struck in steel due to wartime shortages of copper.
Due to wartime needs of copper for use in ammunition and other military equipment during World War II, the US Mint researched various ways to limit dependence and meet conservation goals on copper usage. After trying out several substitutes (ranging from other metals[1] to plastics[2]) to replace the then-standard bronze alloy, it was minted in zinc-coated steel. It was made at all three mints, Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. Coins from the latter two sites have respectively "D" and "S" mintmarks below the date.
However, problems began to arise from the mintage. Freshly minted, they were often mistaken for dimes. Magnets in cent vending machines, placed to pick up steel slugs, also picked up the legitimate steel cents. Because the galvanization process didn't cover the edges of the coins, sweat would quickly rust the metal, turning the coins into a rusty mess. After public outcry, the Mint developed a process where salvaged brass shellcasings were augmented with pure copper to produce an alloy near the pre-war specifications.
The steel cent is the only regular-issue United States coin that can be picked up with a magnet. The steel cent is also the only coin issued by the United States for circulation that does not contain any copper."
