<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 14707902, member: 10461&quot;]Everybody knows about the rare off-metal errors which resulted in the 1943 copper and 1944 steel cents.&nbsp; Less well known are the wartime <i>nickels</i> which <i>should</i> have been struck on the 35% silver wartime planchets, but instead got struck on the old copper-nickel planchets of the prewar composition.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dealer who had this (on display, not for sale) was of the apparent opinion that he’s got a real sleeper here.&nbsp; I, for one, am not inclined to disagree with him.&nbsp; I totally overlooked the coin at first (ho-hum, a circulated Jefferson- <i>really</i>?)&nbsp; But then it dawned on me what I was seeing.&nbsp; I’m not really an error coin guy, but wow.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1532081[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
