1989-D Lincoln Cent Transitional
Double Struck on Bronze Planchet
by Mike Byers (mikebyers.com)
This is a unique transitional major mint error. In 1989 the Denver Mint struck this Lincoln Cent on a pre-1983
copper Cent blank. The weight is 3.10 grams. It is a transitional since it should be on a copper-zinc blank planchet.
This transitional is unique and a discovery coin. It was double struck in the collar and rotated between the strikes.
This is one of the coolest mint errors I have ever handled.

Double Struck Gold Staters of Brutus
by Harlan J. Berk
Editor’s Note: A small group of double struck gold staters were discovered in this hoard. I
personally sorted through two groups of staters from this hoard which were owned by two of the
largest numismatic dealers who dealt in ancient coins. Fortunately there were a group which
were double and triple struck. The double struck stater pictured in this article is dramatic and is
in choice mint state condition.

Unique 1860 $5 Clark Gruber
Reverse Die Trial
T his is a spectacular reverse die trial from Clark Gruber and Co., the most respected and well
known financial and banking company in the pioneer and Gold Rush days in Colorado. Clark
Gruber and Co. opened a bank and mint in 1860 and became coiners, striking their own gold coins
of proper weight. The denominations struck were $2 1/2, $5, $10 and $20’s. These pieces were
accepted as currency since Clark Gruber and Co. was a well known private minting firm with an
excellent reputation. This uniface die trial is a fascinating piece of Gold Rush history.

Copper Ingot
- From the Fred Weinberg Collection -
T his is a portion of a raw copper ingot which is approximately 5 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches, a
half inch thick and weighs 4 3/4 lbs.
This ingot would have been melted, refined and eventually rolled into copper planchet strips.
Blank cent planchets used by the United States Mint would eventually have been punched out of
these strips.
Fred Weinberg has had this copper ingot in his personal collection for over 25 years. He
purchased it at the same time that he bought a group of copper and clad punched strips. It is the
only copper ingot that he has ever seen prior to being refined and rolled into planchet strips.
Today’s copper strips consist of a different composition of copper and zinc. Prior to 1982,
the copper strips used in the production of cent blanks were 95% copper, 5% tin and zinc. This
copper ingot may be the only one available and is being offered for the first time in 25 years!

Off-Metals Struck At
The San Francisco Mint
A very small group of PROOF and mint state errors recently came from a collection that was
auctioned by the State of California. The U.S. Secret Service inspected and released this
collection to the State of California determining that it was legal to own. The State of California
then auctioned the collection and it has been dispersed since the sale.
Included in this collection was a batch of mint state off-metals struck in the San Fransisco
Mint from 1965 through 1970. Several of these dates are extremely rare. The 1965 and 1966 Cents
are struck on clad Dime blanks which were intended for the striking of the Special Mint Sets. The
1968-S Cent are struck on clad Dime blanks which were intended for the striking of Proof coins.
The 1968-S and 1970-S Nickels struck on Cent blanks are extremely rare.

Major Mint Errors
and Die Trials

ANACS is the Collector’s Choice because we
know what counts: knowledge, integrity, and
service. How much we value coin collecting is
evident in our work.
Proof Errors
P roof coins are struck by technicians who hand
feed the blanks into special presses. They are
produced, examined, and packaged using extreme
quality control. It is very unusual to find major
proof errors. A few broadstrikes, off-centers,
double strikes in collars and off-metals have been
known to be found in sealed proof sets. Proof er-
rors are aggressively sought after by many error
collectors.

Partial Collars
P artial collar strikes occur when there is a mal-
function of the striking press. This causes the
collar to be in an incorrect position. The lower
die (usually the reverse die) is recessed in the
collar. This allows the coin which is going to
be struck to have a formed rim. After a coin is
struck the lower die raises upwards, pushing the
struck coin out of the collar and ejecting it. If a
blank entering the collar is not properly seated, it
will only have partial reeding as it is struck. The
edge of this coin will have a partial reeding and a
partial blank surface area. Recently, the Mint has
installed new machinery where either die can be
installed in either position.

Uniface Strikes
U niface coins occur when there have been two
blank planchets in the press at the same time.
The other blank will obstruct the die on either the
obverse or reverse side, which will prevent it from
having that design on the coin. There are many
different variations involving uniface errors. In
addition to having a 100% blank obverse or re-
verse, a coin can be struck off-center, with a blank
planchet in the collar which will obstruct one side
of the off-center. There are also mated pairs which
have a combination of multiple errors which can
include a side which is uniface. Finally, there are
uniface strikes due to a die cap which adhered to
the die, forming itself in the shape of a die and
striking blank planchets.

Bonded Coins
B onded coins occur when the feeder sys-
tem, which supplies blank planchets to
the coin press, malfunctions and jams. When
this occurs, a struck coin is not properly eject-
ed and another planchet is fed into the collar
and is struck. This struck coin will land on
top of the previously unejected strike. These
coins will then crush and bond together. This
may occur many times as more coins bond.

Coins Struck on Feeder Finger Tips
A fter a recent tour of the U.S.
Mint at Philadelphia, it was
discovered that the minting process
had changed to some degree. One of
the changes was that “feeder fingers”
were used during the striking of all
denominations of U.S. coins. Prior to
this tour, U.S. coins that were struck
on feeder finger tips were authenti-
cated and described as being struck
on aluminum scrap. Coins from all
modern denominations have been
discovered that were struck on the
tips of these feeder fingers.

Struck Fragments
T he blanking press takes the coils of metal
strips and punches blanks out of it, eject-
ing the webbing at the other end. The webbing
is cut into small scrap pieces to be melted and
recycled. Occasionally a scrap piece will be
mixed with the blank planchets and struck
by the dies. Struck fragments are rare in the
larger denominations. These can be uniface
or die struck both sides and are very rare on
type coins.

Mated Pairs
M ated pairs involve two individual coins with different er-
rors that were struck together at the same time. Mated
pair error combinations can be found in most error types and
come in many shapes and sizes. Mated pairs can be overlapped
when one of the coins is struck off-center on top of another
coin. Another type involves a brockage where a struck coin was
perfectly centered on a blank and restruck. Some mated pairs
involve a die cap where the cap and brockage coin are discov-
ered together, but this is a scarce find.
The rarest mated pair type involves two die caps (obverse and
reverse) where both dies were capped at the same time and both
die caps are mated. This last type is extremely rare and there
are only a few known examples of mated pairs involving an
obverse die cap and reverse die cap. There are several of these mated pairs known on Kennedy Halves in-
cluding two dated 1976, which is the Bicentennial year. One of the most spectacular mated pairs involve two
Barber Dimes, an obverse die cap mated to a reverse die cap and are unique.
Mated pairs can also involve an off-metal where a smaller blank planchet or smaller struck coin was struck on
top of a larger coin. This type is extremely rare. The most spectacular pair known is a double struck Franklin
Half which was mated to a Lincoln Cent. The Lincoln Cent blank was on top of the obverse of the struck
Franklin Half. This pair was then struck together. It is unique.

Transitional Errors
A transitional error occurs when a coin is struck
on a planchet from a previous year with dif-
ferent metal composition. The most famous transi-
tional is a 1943 copper cent struck on a 1942 cop-
per blank. 1943 cents were struck in steel because
of the copper shortage during World War II. Other
famous transitionals include 1965 coinage struck
in silver instead of clad.

U.S. Gold Errors
M ajor mint errors on U.S. Gold coins are the
most prized category of all mint errors.
Gold errors are very rare and a few have traded
in the $75,000 to $100,000 range. Even a broad-
struck U.S. Gold coin can easily sell for $15,000
to $30,000 compared to a broadstruck Cent,
Nickel, Dime or Quarter which all sell for well
under $10. Many serious collectors of Gold Errors
have to wait patiently for months and sometimes
even years to aquire that one special piece for
their collection.

Indents
A n indent error occurs when two blanks are
fed inadvertently into the same collar, with
one blank partly overlaying on top of the other.
When the hammer die strikes this combination,
the upper blank will be forced into the lower
blank, creating a depression which is shaped
similar to the upper blank. A scarce type of
indent occurs when a blank intended for one
denomination lands on top of a blank from a dif-
ferent denomination.

Capped Dies
A capped die is caused when a struck coin
sticks to the upper hammer die. Once the
coin is struck to the die face, the reverse of the
struck coin becomes the new die face. When the
next blank is fed into the collar and the strike oc-
curs, the reverse design of the adheared struck
coin impresses itself into the new blank. This
struck coin is a brockage strike. The coin that ad-
hered to the upper die is known as a die cap. This
process repeats itself as more coins are struck by
the cap. The greater the number of strikes, the
higher the cap metal will be pushed around the
upper die shaft. Eventually, the cap brakes away
from the die in the shape of a thimble.

Double Denominations
O ne of the most expensive, popular, and
desired types of errors are the double
denominations. This error happens when a
coin is struck on a previously struck coin of a
smaller denomination. Examples are a cent on
a struck dime, and a nickel on a struck cent.
The most dramatic are those with consider-
able design visible from the original strike.
There are a few known double denominations
with different dates.

Brockages
A brockage error can only occur when there
are two coins involved. One of the coins
involved will always be a struck coin which has
not ejected properly. That struck coin will find
its way back between the dies and will be struck
next to a blank planchet which was fed into the
collar. The image of that first struck coin will be
impressed into that side of the blank planchet.
The result will be a second coin which has im-
ages of the first coin impressed into it. Those im-
ages will be pressed into the coin and the image
will be in reverse. This incuse sunken image is
known as a brockage.

Off-Metals
O ff-metal and wrong planchet errors occur when a correctly made
blank from one denomination is accidentaly fed into a press for
another denomination. Examples are a nickel struck on a cent planchet
and a cent struck on a dime planchet. The coin struck on an incorrect
blank will weigh exactly what the denomination of that blank would
have been. An even more dramatic wrong planchet error is a coin
struck on a previously struck coin of a different metal.

Another challenge is to determine how the central
portion of the oak tree could simply be omitted from
this coin’s obverse. Referring back to Figures 1 and
3, it is clear that the top of the tree is very close to the

need to take a look at how a rocker press works.

F A Qrequently sked uestions
Off-center coins are one of the most common and best known types of errors.
This happens when a blank which is supposed to be fed into the press, lands
in the collar improperly. When this occurs only part of the blank is between
the upper and lower dies. When the dies strike the blank, only that part will be
struck with a design.
Page 96 minterrornews.com
F A Qrequently sked uestions
Partial collar strikes occur when there is a malfunction of the striking press.
This causes the collar to be in an incorrect position. The lower die (usually the
reverse die) is recessed in the collar. This allows the coin which is going to be
struck to have a formed rim. After a coin is struck the lower die raises upwards,
pushing the struck coin out of the collar and ejecting it.
If a blank entering the collar is not properly seated, it will only have partial
reeding as it is struck. The edge of this coin will have a partial reeding and
a partial blank surface area. Recently, the Mint has installed new machinery
where either die can be installed in either position.
