Domestic coins erroniously struck on Foreign planchets

Hi all,

I am doing some research on a multiple error coin I have. It was struck on a steel planchet 21.2 mm in diameter and weighs 5.1 grams. One side is the Reverse of a Buffalo Nickel and the other side is the Reverse of a Wheat Cent.

At this point I am trying to determine if any Foreign planchets fit those dimensions and weight and I do not know where to look. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.. Dan

IMHO .. It looks more like someone remove material from the nickel and pressed a thinned down penny into it, than being an actual mint error.

I agree with derf on this one. Not a mint error...

This is a magician's coin, not an error.

Here's a real error, 1877 Indian Head Cent struck on a Venezuelan 1 Centavo planchet. I've actually held this coin in my hand, a friend 0f mine, who is a big time error collector used to own it.

Not an error coin. An altered or post mint damaged coin.

Hi Dan, your coin is 2 coins. It is a penny inserted into a nickel. Here is a Canadian version. Yours looks to have been around for a while mine was made this afternoon. The inside looks like this before assembly.

I have a 2002P Louisiana quarter on its side it looked silver, thats how i noticed it. Some silver proof sets were minted of this coin but should have an s mint mark. It weighs 5.79 and should weigh 5.65. I then put a magnet to it and to my suprise it picked the coin up. Wrong planchet perhaps? Any help or info on this coin would be appreciated. Sorry the picts prob are not the best. It looks same on both sides. Had lighting issues.

Pretty sure it is just one of the 10s of thousands of state quarters that were plated for sale to the uninformed on the Home Shopping Network. They were plated in silver, gold, platinum. Considered to be post mint damage.

​And the magnetism?

You say it 8s magnetic. But offer no proof. If it is magnetic, it is clearly fake.

Probably plated as you say but with nickel. That would explain the "silvery" edge, the increase in weight and the magnetism. Still PMD.

I tried to post a short video of it being lifted wuth a magnet. Not sure how to do that.

I understand. I hope you find good news.
