Description
Impressive 1942 Dime Struck on an Ecuador Five Centavos Planchet, MS65 Full Bands
1942 10C Mercury Dime--Struck on an Ecuador Five Centavos Planchet--MS65 Full Bands NGC. 2.06 gm. The United States continued striking coins for foreign governments during the Second World War, particularly for nearby nations and the Allies. The Netherlands coinages are among the most famous for this date, though the piece offered here was struck on a planchet intended for the coinage of the South American nation of Ecuador.The brass planchet that formed the base for this interesting error is predominantly brass-gold with elements of rose and plum. The luster is strong, and though the planchet is nearly 20% underweight compared to the 2.5 gm standard for dimes of the era, the bands of the fasces show full separation. Attractive and fantastic, an important error for the aficionado.
