(1943)-P Jefferson Nickel, MS63 Full Steps
On a Steel Cent Planchet

(1943)-P Jefferson Nickel -- Struck on a Steel Cent Planchet -- MS63 Full Steps NGC. 1943 bronze cents are the most famous of all wrong planchet mint errors, but other off-metal combinations are known for that date. They are approximately as rare, but far more affordable. This Jefferson nickel was struck on a zinc-plated steel cent. Only the very bottom of the date is present, but the upper reverse field shows a large P mintmark. Struck aligned with the collar die at 3 o'clock, thus left-side elements are complete while the right-side legends are partial. Promptly (and wisely) set aside, the surfaces are lustrous and display a smattering of carbon flecks.
