<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 345824, member: 4626&quot;]Er I think your logic is backwards there.&nbsp; It is a dime that can not be struck on a cent planchet, not the other way around.</p><p><br /></p><p>The way the machinery is set up, it&#039;s nearly impossible for a planchet too big for the collar to get struck... thus a dime struck on a cent planchet would be nearly impossible (it could happen, but would be highly unlikely, and even if it did, would be unlikely to not get caught and let out of the Mint).&nbsp; However the reverse is entirely possible and has happened several times (still somewhat rare, but not unheard of).</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin linked here, if genuine, is a cent struck on a dime... a struck dime is smaller than a cent planchet and wouldn&#039;t have a problem getting struck with cent dies.&nbsp; Not common, but still possible.&nbsp; Much more likely than say, a struck cent getting struck with dime dies.&nbsp; That would be highly improbable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
