[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 345877, member: 705"]I think you got it backwards. A cent can not be struck on a nickel planchet....but a nickel can be struck on a cent planchet. The key to remember is that a larger coin planchet will NOT fit into a smaller collar.....so an off metal coin will always be struck with a larger set of dies. Such as quarter on nickel planchet......quarter on dime planchet. This means of course that since the dime is the smallest...you won't see a dime struck on a cent planchet, or a quarter planchet, or a nickel plachet...etc. I'll also say that this coin is over priced IMHO---$5000 is alot for such an error.
