<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2314870, member: 66&quot;]There are a FEW buffalo nickels struck on copper planchets of the proper size but they are probably die trials.&nbsp; Back on the 19th century patterns or pieces de caprice struck on correct size but differnt metal composition are well known.&nbsp; There are also a few coins struck on foreign planchets that are of the proper size but wrong composition.&nbsp; About the only true wrong metal errors in US coins are transitional pieces such as the 1943 copper cent, the 1944 steel cent, a few 1946 nickels on war nickel planchets, the 1964 dimes and quarters on clad planchets, 196 dime and quarters on silver planchets.&nbsp; There are also the 1974 D and 1977 D halves and dollars on 40% silver planchets, and there are two 1973 S business strike dollars on coppernickel clad planchets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
