1977-S Nickel, PR68 Cameo
on a Clad Dime Planchet

1977-S 5C Jefferson Nickel -- Struck on a Clad Dime Planchet -- PR68 Cameo PCGS. An impressive off-metal proof error. A clad dime planchet was struck between proof Jefferson nickel dies. Struck aligned with the collar die at 4:30. Nearby elements (including the date and mintmark) have a normal appearance, but outward expansion during the strike was unrestrained near 1:30 and 7:30, creating an oval shape and causing LIBERTY and IN to have a stretched, distorted appearance. The reverse border between 4 and 10 o'clock shows a narrow ring of orange-red color. This was created during the strike, as the inner copper core partially squeezed out from the edge and was struck into the reverse margin.
