Description
San Francisco Double Denomination Error
1968-S Nickel on a 1968-S Cent
MS67 Red
1968-S 5C Jefferson Nickel--Struck on a 1968-S Cent--MS67 Red
NGC. Ex: New England Collection. A pristine peach-gold Superb
Gem example of this rarely-seen mintmarked double denomination
combination. The nickel date and mintmark is bold. The cent
mintmark is clear, and the cent date is evident although about
two-thirds is flattened by the subsequent nickel strike. Lincoln
gazes south-southwest relative to Monticello, while Jefferson gazes
north-northeast relative to the Memorial.Since the San Francisco Mint re-opened in the mid-1960s, the facility has struck mintmarked nickels for circulation in only three years, 1968 through 1970. Cents struck prior to the 1955 closure bear the Wheat design. Thus, there is limited opportunity to acquire S-mint nickels struck on Lincoln Memorial cents.
