[QUOTE="bruthajoe, post: 4015013, member: 108656"]How is this possible? So many years in between? Are we supposed to weigh every coin in our possessions? ... At Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ Aug. 11 Rarities Night sale, the firm offered the only known 1989-D Lincoln cent struck on a pre-1983 planchet, graded Mint State 65 red by Professional Coin Grading Service. As the auctioneer observed, “It is remarkable for an error of this type to exist on a coin so far removed in time (seven years) from the changeover in composition.” The description tried to equate the offered coin to 1943 Lincoln cents struck on bronze planchets, or at least 1983 Lincoln cents struck on bronze planchets, but the 1989 error failed to reach those price levels and sold for a modest $3,525.
