Description

1985 Cent, MS68 Red
Two Planchet Bonded Pair

1985 1C Cent -- Two Planchet Bonded Pair -- MS68 Red NGC. 5.0 gm. Upon first glance, this mint error appears to be a reverse die cap, and an impressive one with a steep thimble-like rim. Close inspection shows a double rim, one inside the other. There are two cents in the holder: an obverse die cap housed inside a reverse die cap, with the reverse of the obverse cap fused (from the strike) to the obverse of the reverse cap. Both the exterior obverse and reverse designs are well struck, and the margins exhibit zinc residue forced out from the interior of the coin by the strike.
