Description
1977-S Nickel, PR68 Cameo
Struck Over a 1977-S Dime
Double Denomination
1977-S 5C Jefferson Nickel -- Overstruck on a 1977-S Dime,
Double Denomination -- PR68 Cameo NGC. Double denomination
coins are usually Lincoln cents struck on dimes. But here is a
nickel struck on a dime, and in proof format. The dime was rotated
almost exactly 180 degrees relative to the nickel dies, with the
dime obverse facing the the nickel reverse die. On the nickel
obverse, most of STATES from the dime remains apparent on the
truncation of Jefferson bust. On the reverse, the dime date and
mintmark is clear, as is LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST. Roosevelt is
inverted relative to Monticello. The copper core of the dime
squeezed out slightly during the strike, and overlaps the obverse
margin between 7 and 12 o'clock. Struck aligned with the collar at
4:30, with most of IN GOD WE TRUST (from the strike as a nickel)
off the flan.
