Description

MS65 Red 1983-P Nickel on a
Brass Cent Planchet

1983-P 5C Jefferson Nickel--Struck on a Copper Cent Planchet--MS65 Red PCGS. 3.1 gm. Cent planchets transitioned from copper alloy to copper-plated zinc during 1982. Presumably, this nickel was struck in late 1982, when the last of the copper cent planchets (prior to 2009) were coined. Per the consignor, this is the finest known of only three 1983-P nickels struck on copper alloy planchets. It is a lustrous peach-red Gem, aligned with the collar at 3 o'clock. The left-side legends are stretched and partly absent due to the undersized flan.
