1943-P Jefferson War Nickel Struck On Steel Cent Planchet

Bobby I respect your opinions (like is for all), visions and thinking's but it is not "ludicrous". Also they are not also "a bazillion" of those coins. Come out sporadic and no one past yet 20 in number.

I try to introduce you of the way the forensic analyze in the begin. It is not easy to do those analyzes. They are others documents (classified) which could be analyze in order to come to a conclusion or conclusions: As: what is the origin of alloy components use, The Dies stages, which presses has those marks and when was use, the Dies first stage strikes and the last stage before retire and also to see what Die (Hammer or Anvil) was use from the Dies Database No.

Thank you answer me with very sincere visions you has and probably other very rusty collectors.

As Bobby states, these two planchets were in the mint at the same time, so it's a lot more probable than some of them that are out there.

I think this post must be close. Bobby I state was done in the Mint facility and is consider Mint Error by TPG's. I try to explain the process and is not listening.

MAC, sorry you has no knowledge about presses when you talk me about chambers.

So better this topic will be close, please Bobby. Is no conspiracy hear is data.

I'm not saying I agree with Sil or that I even have any opinion on how the coin was created, but I think (and please correct me if I'm misstating your argument ) what he's trying to say is that because Nickels involved precious metal in 1943 they would have been made with different presses from cents and on a different floor (not sure how we get that from the charts provided, but . . .)

Since they were struck on different presses and on different floors and since precious metal surveillance/security was tight the easiest way to get a silver planchet into the area where the cent dies were kept (cue the music from the vault scene in Ocean's 11) would have been at night when the mechanical staff had much freer access to move around and much less scrutiny and supervision.

Q.E.D - This has to be an intentionally incorrect planchet error.

No guarantees, express or implied, as to the accuracy of my translation because, well . . .

(Please direct all flaming responses to the source and leave the translator out of your line of fire!)

...is also very interesting trying to understand how an "error"
like this occurs at the mint!

wow, very good point, that is something I haven't thought of as a cause

In the 19th century it was common for mint employees to strike special "gifts" for dealers, collectors or even themselves. The employees were paid handsomely for their efforts.
