Description
1972-S Ike Dollar on a Cent Planchet
Ike Dollar on a Dime Planchet
PR67 Red Cameo and PR67
Unique Mated Error Pair
1972-S Cent and Dime Eisenhower Dollar Mated Pair, PR67 Red
Cameo, PR67, PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC. A proof clad dime planchet
and a proof copper cent planchet were fed or placed together, side
by side, between proof Ike dollar dies. The strike created a mated
pair. The two pieces fit together, with a partial straight edge,
across Eisenhower's cheek. The dollar-on-dime was aligned with the
collar die at 10:30. The dollar-on-cent was aligned with the collar
die at 5:30. The date and mintmark is complete on the
dollar-on-cent. Also present is Eisenhower's neck, and the partial
legend OD WE UST. Between both mated pairs, the profile of
Eisenhower is complete, as is the eagle's head. The dollar-on-dime
also shows the partial legend LIB. Earth is complete on the reverse
of the dollar-on-cent, along with E PLURIBUS UNUM, STATES OF AME,
and the eagle's right (facing) wing. The dollar-on-dime displays
the eagle's legs, olive branch, and left wing. The 1972-S
dollar-on-cent is graded PR67 Red Cameo NGC. The (1972-S)
dollar-on-dime is graded PR67 NGC. Also included, to
demonstrate the type, is a 1972-S Silver Eisenhower Dollar PR67
Ultra Cameo NGC, Type Two Reverse, light gold toning with
exemplary contrast. The three coins (mated pair and proof silver
Eisenhower dollar) are housed together in a large format NGC
holder, titled UNIQUE PENNY/DIME MATED PAIR. It is unusual,
although certainly appropriate, for NGC to use the word unique to
describe this error pair, since it involves a non-overlapping mated
error pair on two different off-metal wrong planchets struck by
proof dies of an obsolete type. The mated error pair is reminiscent
of a three-piece "clover leaf" proof Eisenhower dollar struck on
adjacent and non-overlapping dime planchets, which realized
$105,000 as lot 1329 in our April 2021 Central States Signature.
