Squeezed into a copper pipe perhaps?

I'm sure I've seen a thread on a coin like this on this site before, but finding it will be the problem. Having something to do with a pipe seems to ring a bell.

This is an interesting piece. It is not a broadstrike error (Look at the 1999-P Jefferson nickel in this link for a good example of a broadstrike: (052) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed .com/broadstrikeminterror.html#.VX3B7UZH5Yg) --- the rim is just too perfectly uniform for that. That being said this still is an interesting piece. This is the kind of stuff that can and does bring big money at a local auction. |

Making two threads about the same coin is confusing.

That's the thread I was thinking of, biokemist, thanks (although the pipe one must have been in my subconscious too).

No, not illegal to own, just don't try to use it in place of a Quarter. That WOULD be illegal!

No thats a new one on me. Would that be classified a PMD. Interesting for sure! |

Ah the "spark plug cent". Not as notorious as the gold plated "rackateer nickel" but definitely in the same ballpark. Neat find. I'm a theatre manager. I've come across some neat coins. Some in tills, some under chairs in auditoriums. I once found a "pound" in a roll of quarters. Not nearly as neat as this neat though.  Edited by CopperCastle
