CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 03/09/2026 1:17 pm Sullivan Numismatics - PCGS 1863 Indian cent with a piece of rolled in, retained wood obverse. The wood can be clearly seen with a loupe, and is stuck in the metal of the coin, with a rough, defective area in the metal where the piece of wood was rolled into the planchet. Finding the wood retained in the coin is rare, and this is the only example of this we can recall having seen! MS64 with lustrous surfaces.

It somehow got into the machine that makes the planchets. Someone smarter than me will have to explain how they know that. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10470 Posts	Posted 03/09/2026 7:56 pm Sounds like the "wood" was rolled into the blank stock - and it was lucky enough to be punched out of the stock into a planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
