bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24148 Posts	Posted 04/15/2021 09:38 am Wow! From Heritage: Undated Three-Piece "Clover Leaf" Eisenhower dollar -- Struck on Clad Dime Planchets -- PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC. The word unique is used perhaps too often by error coin catalogers, but it is the single word that best describes the present lot. Three clad dime planchets were simultaneously struck by a pair of Ike dollar dies. The planchets touched but did not overlap, and formed a "clover leaf" pattern with the top planchet centered above the remaining two planchets. Only the 1 in the date is present, and the mintmark is absent, but Earth is complete, and confirms the reverse is Type Two, struck in proof format only during 1971 and 1972. A showstopper mint error on a popular obsolete type. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 04/15/2021 11:25 am That's a creative one and a cool slab! I'd call it the "Dismembered" error though.

jgfindring Rest in Peace United States 1380 Posts	Posted 04/15/2021 12:45 pm Shortly after the dime stamped on a nail was certified and auctioned, the Chinese no name site had tons of error coins stamped on nails for sale. I predict there are suddenly going to be a bunch of these also. Report this Post to the Staff
