Nice one. It's a bonded cluster, but I can't tell how many planchets are involved. Something got stuck in the striking chamber and this was the result of just a fraction of a second with coins feeding on top of coins. I would love to have an error like this.

Good gracious, I'm curious what slab would be used to hold such a "coin"?

Here it is in holder. I saw this when auctioned Thursday at HA, and thought I'd share the pics with you. It went for over $3k. There were a lot of interesting errors, I was surprised at how many Lincoln cents struck on dime planchets there were (some with the dime struck and some unstruck).  |

Thanks for sharing the photos Jim, that clears it up. I've never seen a slab like that! A capsule inside a capsule.
