Description

1942 Cent--Struck on a Dime Planchet--AU 50. Formerly offered as lot 5958 in our September Long Beach Sale, where it was described as, "Reasonably well centered with only part of the L in LIBERTY and the tops of E PLURIBUS UNUM missing. The surfaces have a muted golden-olive patina over the natural silver-gray from the dime planchet, probably a result of many years residence in the paper envelope this piece was consigned to us in. The devices show a rather heavy encrustation of charcoal-gray with the remnant of a fingerprint on the reverse."
