Dramatic Bonded-Mated Pair
1972-S Cent, PR63 Brown

1972-S Lincoln Cent--Two-Coin Bonded-Mated Pair--PR63 Brown NGC. Not holdered by NGC due to the dimensions of the piece, but accompanied by a photo-certificate from the firm. On a proof press, a coin was first struck in the usual way, but instead of completely ejecting from the dies, it flipped over and partially out. A second planchet entered the dies, and the striking of the second planchet bonded it and the first planchet together. A remarkable error with the two planchets forming nearly a 45-degree angle from the horizontal.
