Mrhakfbacon Pillar of the Community United States 555 Posts	Posted 04/04/2026 2:00 pm I've been working on a list of all known transitional planchet errors for far. Here is what I currently have(this list is probably incomplete): Cents 1943 Copper ~20 known 1943-D Copper 1 known 1943-S Copper 6-7 known 1944 Steel ~40 known 1944-D Steel ~10 known 1944-S Steel 2 known 1983 Copper >4 knwon 1983-D Copper >1 known 1989-D Copper 1 known 1990-D Copper 1 known Nickels 1943-P Standard planchet >1 known 1944-P Standard planchet >3 known 1946 Wartime planchet ~4 known Dimes 1965 Silver >6 known Quarters 1965 Silver >10 known 1966 Dilver?

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3619 Posts	Posted 04/04/2026 5:36 pm Great work pulling this together. It's interesting! Just a hunch here, but there may be two other bronze cent categories that are so minor and likely so common that nobody cares about them. The transition back from shellcase cents to the 1864-1942 composition supposedly occurred between 1946 and 1947. The tin deletion from the cent composition supposedly occurred between 1962 and 1963. My hunch is that numerous overlapping examples likely exist. Both would be hard to detect and likely also be very, very common. Edited by fortcollins 04/04/2026 5:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Mrhakfbacon Pillar of the Community United States 555 Posts	Posted 04/04/2026 5:50 pm I was thinking of those. For the 1962 cents the composition was changed midway thru the year so there are old and new 1962s, but yeah there might be older composition 1963s still somehow. Shell casings 1944-1946, might be some 1947s but I have yet to see one. Report this Post to the Staff

Mrhakfbacon Pillar of the Community United States 555 Posts	Posted 04/04/2026 8:48 pm Yes but those were patterns I thought. I only included transitional errors(ex. 1968-S quarter on Silver planchet). Other off-planchet errors like a 1943 made of tin and antimony are not included. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5765 Posts	Posted 04/23/2026 10:37 am One transitional error that I've heard very little about is Lincoln cents struck on copper planchets after 2009, when such planchets were used in mint and proof sets. I believe these have been found. ps. I'm also familiar with a local gentleman that found a 1970(?) silver quarter in the reject tray of a local grocery store coin counting machine about 10 years ago. He has been trying to get it graded and slabbed, but has been facing resistance. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
