<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 25684036, member: 74863&quot;]Minted in the 1990’s. It’s BU and Red and the date is uncertain except from whom I purchased it and when, so sometime in the 1990’s. Being zinc and no collar it’s easy to see what the mint can do to a zinc planchet. All that pressure from the dies is translated into a totally smashed cent when no collar is used to hold it in place. </p><p>The last photo has a Quarter on top and it’s easy to see that the cent peeks out a little from under the Quarter. The zinc planchet is split in 2 places. Amazing what can happen if something goes wrong in the process.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1642379[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1642380[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1642381[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
