Description
1968-S Lincoln Cent, MS64
Costa Rica 5 Centavos Planchet
Struck Into Obverse
1968-S 1C Lincoln Cent -- Costa Rica 5 Centavos Planchet Struck
Into Obverse -- MS64 NGC. 4 grams. Numista.com informs us that
4.84 million Costa Rica 5 centavos were struck at the San Francisco
Mint in 1968. Those coins were dated 1967, and struck in stainless
steel with a weight of 0.875 grams and a diameter of 14.92 mm.
Bronze Lincoln cents have a statutory weight of 3.11 grams, thus
the combined weight of a bronze Lincoln cent and a 1967 Costa Rica
5 centavos should be 3.885 grams, similar to the weight stated on
the insert. A Costa Rica 5 centavos planchet inadvertently ended up
in a bin of cent planchets, and was fed together with a cent
planchet between 1968-S cent dies. The 5 centavos was well-centered
over the cent planchet, and situated between the obverse die and
the cent planchet. The cent reverse has a normal appearance save
for a broad "railroad rim" near 6 o'clock. A railroad rim is also
present on the obverse, near 3 and 9 o'clock.
