<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 4233519, member: 92083&quot;]This cent was broadstruck with a significant die clash on the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>But f you check the reverse closely, particularly on the right side of the Memorial, you can see what&#039;s left of another zinc planchet that was rammed and partially retained into it. That isn&#039;t exposed zinc, its zinc frgament from another zinc planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s retained is likely what remained of a very thin die cap floor (an example I own is the third photo below). You can also see where other portions were struck into this planchet but didn&#039;t bond and left divots around the retained area.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen 2 and multi-coin bonded coins, but I have never seen zinc fragments from another planchet struck into a cent before and were retained.</p><p><br /></p><p>What at first looks a typical broadstrike is not so typical after all. Hope you enjoyed this post. ~Joe Cronin</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1082415[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1082416[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1082417[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
