    I would have to examine such a coin in person to convince myself that it is not a contrivance. I am in New England. Might our paths cross locally, or at a major show?

    It should not be possible because the quarter planchet cannot fit in a cent collar. I wonder what could have caused it.

    As I recall, some very similar to this popped up on ebay about a year a go. The consensus was that they were mint assisted (someone inside the mint helped create them) I believe.

    If it's a mint product (assisted or not) it's a rare and pricey piece. Is it yours? If so I'd get it certified.

    Nice find Lorenzian! This Cent on Nickel was discovered not long ago! Probably mint assisted. Yours is amazing because it has the Obverse and the Reverse image! 1C on 5C Blank.jpg

    All the US coins struck on oversized planchets I've come across carry a date of 1981. They were also all uniface, like the 1981 cent on nickel planchet. So this 1973-D cent on quarter planchet is a new one on me. If the dies are genuine (and I see nothing in the photos that would indicate otherwise) the coin would be worth several thousand dollars.

    Good answer that pertains to modern US mint products. I am now subscribed to this thread & hope to see what information Lorenzian posts back to this thread.

    If this was mint assisted would it not be illegal to own? And might they not want to re-claim it? I would not want the Feds. looking for me on this one.
