<p>[QUOTE=&quot;COCollector, post: 2364169, member: 76108&quot;]The USMint made a similar mistake on steel coins they minted for the 1944 Belgium 2Franc: <a href="http://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=7831" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=7831" rel="nofollow">http://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=7831</a></p><p><br /></p><p>At least this mistake was easier to understand -- those silver planchets were the same size as the steel planchets (19mm).</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can find one, supposedly those Belgium error coins are worth $300 - $700.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whereas, the US dime (17.9mm) is smaller than the cent (19mm). So I&#039;d say the 1943 US silver cent is a bigger screw-up than the Belgium coin. So maybe worth more?</p><p><br /></p><p>But to me, $8,500 seems a bit overpriced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
