1956-D Cent on a Struck Roosevelt Dime

1956-D 1C Lincoln Cent--Double Denomination on Struck Roosevelt Dime--AU58 PCGS. An error coin in an erroneous slab, mislabeled by PCGS as a 1956 P-mint Lincoln. The Lincoln cent is struck, obverse to obverse, about 160 degrees rotated on an already-struck Roosevelt dime. GOD RUST from the dime is visible in Old Abe's hair, with a clear 1956 dime date behind his head, and most of the outline of Roosevelt's head is visible. The major details, date, and mintmark of the Lincoln cent are bold. On the reverse DIME is visible upside-down above ONE (CENT), and the top of the Roosevelt dime torch can be seen in OF AMERICA of the cent. No mintmark from the dime is visible. The edge of the coin, visible through the PCGS slab, is clearly reeded from the original dime planchet. The coin has darkened, but little wear is evident.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22FL, PCGS# 2837, Greysheet# 2175)
