Lot 1425
1944 on a Thick Planchet. Pollock-2078, Rarity-7. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Nice brown and blue toning. Listed as "experimental" pieces in earlier editions of Judd, but dropped from the recently published 8th edition. Pollock explains one possible scenario for these unusually thick pieces: "Other numismatists regard them to be mint errors; i.e., struck on planchets cut from sheets of rolled stock intended for the production of foreign coins." However, we wonder which coins they might be, as we are unaware of any 1944-dated (or 1944 era) world coins struck on thick planchets! Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,500
