[QUOTE="COCollector, post: 2364169, member: 76108"]The USMint made a similar mistake on steel coins they minted for the 1944 Belgium 2Franc: [url]http://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=7831[/url] At least this mistake was easier to understand -- those silver planchets were the same size as the steel planchets (19mm). If you can find one, supposedly those Belgium error coins are worth $300 - $700. Whereas, the US dime (17.9mm) is smaller than the cent (19mm). So I'd say the 1943 US silver cent is a bigger screw-up than the Belgium coin. So maybe worth more? But to me, $8,500 seems a bit overpriced.[/QUOTE]
