NGC Certifies 4 Rare 1942 And 1943 Wrong Planchet Cents

I hope they give back the 1933 gold pieces if these cents are allowed to be in the hobby. But its likely the number/value of the 1933s that caught the government's attention. I like the idea of odd coins like this, but I prefer consistency.

Agreed with qxy, I guess it was a Philadelphia planchet, if it actually was Dutch. Both the silver 25 cent and the 1 cent have a 19 mm diameter, unlike the Dutch war time 25 cent, which was 26 mm and made of zinc. And that also puzzles me. The 'error' coin seriously doesn't look like silver to me, certainly not .640, as it should be. And I sweriously doubt that it's an erroneous planchet too. I therefore thus doubt that it's a Dutch planchet.

When it comes to comparing with a 1933 gold coin... I think it's different, as there's actually a law against owning those coins (or privately owned gold) for 1933, while there isn't one for these coins. I think these should be more or less compared with the also highly suspicious 1913 Liberty Head nickels, for example.
