Description
1973 Jefferson Nickel, MS64
Reverse Bonded Copper Planchet
1973 5C Jefferson Nickel -- Reverse Bonded Copper Planchet --
MS64 NGC. 5.7 grams. A typical Jefferson nickel weighs 5.0
grams. A 1973 cent weighs 3.1 grams. It appears that a very thin
bronze cent planchet (perhaps from a cent planchet that split
across its horizontal plane) became mixed in with Jefferson nickel
planchets, and was fed together with a normal Jefferson nickel
planchet between 1973 nickel dies. The cent planchet fragment was
struck between the reverse die and the nickel planchet. The two
planchets bonded across most of the reverse, leaving a shallow
inner copper center and a narrow outer copper-nickel ring. The
obverse has a normal appearance. The inner copper circle on the
reverse is toned orange-gold, fire-red, sky-blue, sea-green, and
magenta.
