paddy murphy Valued Member United States 401 Posts	Posted 05/19/2013 10:15 pm This is one of the strangest of all the coins I own. The rev is a nice looking brown AU IHC. The front is confusing nightmare. The parts that aren't rusted look MS. Any idea what happened to this coin? A woodie gone bad? Report this Post to the Staff

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 11:07 am Are improperly mixed alloys considered mint errors? and will NGC/PCGS/ANACS slab them as such? Report this Post to the Staff
jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3164 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 12:02 pm that is a strange looking coin! The color of the light part of obverse kind of looks like the early Indian copper nickel to me. Report this Post to the Staff

No, I don't think improperly mixed planchets is considered an "error". And yes, I believe the TPGs will grade/slab them Edited by Dave H 05/20/2013 12:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 1:00 pm i had an indian slabbed by SEGS as an improperly mixed planchet but ANACS didn't give it that. It was too bad, too, since it was a 1909-S. Report this Post to the Staff
