<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 649123, member: 16948"]I just picked up this amazing little two headed monster at the Fremont show.

I've seen pennies struck on a dime planchet before, but never when the dime was already struck, and what makes this error even more special is that both of the presidents' images line up perfectly together. I showed it around at the Fremont show and everyone was oooohing and awwwwing over it. Even Jack Beymer and Dr. Eugene Bruder were both pretty wowed by this piece and discussed how it would be possible for the error to happen naturally, with the already struck dime getting stuck in the hopper and then when the hoppers were later moved around, the hopper with the dime in it was filled with penny planchets, and then the dime got fed into the penny dies and was struck again there. Whether it was accidental or man made, it's a very very unique error. So what do you all think?</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s.
