Description
1980-D Lincoln Cent, MS62
Struck on a Silver Planchet
1980-D 1C Lincoln Cent -- Struck on a Silver Planchet -- MS62
NGC. 2.1 grams, less than the standard weight of a clad dime
(2.27 grams) or a 90% silver dime (2.5 grams). The U.S. struck
coins for the Dominican Republic and Panama in 1980, but the sole
silver issue struck by the U.S. in that era was the 1980 ten
balboas (0.500 Fine silver) with a standard weight of 26.5 grams.
This unusual off-metal mint error has semiprooflike fields and is
surprisingly unabraded. Both sides display a few dark spots that
limit the grade. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA has a stretched
appearance, consistent with a strike on a slightly undersized
planchet. The rims are complete only on the upper obverse and lower
reverse, which confirms the coin was aligned with the collar die at
12 o'clock during the strike.
