[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 4233519, member: 92083"]This cent was broadstruck with a significant die clash on the obverse. But f you check the reverse closely, particularly on the right side of the Memorial, you can see what's left of another zinc planchet that was rammed and partially retained into it. That isn't exposed zinc, its zinc frgament from another zinc planchet. What'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't bond and left divots around the retained area. 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. What at first looks a typical broadstrike is not so typical after all. Hope you enjoyed this post. ~Joe Cronin [ATTACH=full]1082415[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1082416[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1082417[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
