Lot 1204
1965 Mint Error Struck On 90% Silver Blank. ICG graded EF-40. As the U.S. government switched from silver content to the newly authorized clad planchets in 1965, the two mints continued striking silver issues dated "1964" well into 1965. When the switch was made to 1965-dated dies, it must have been that a few leftover silver blanks remained in the coin hoppers. A similar occurrence caused the famous 1943 bronze cents when the steel cents were introduced in 1943. In time, we expect this rarity will gain further allure by the sophisticated buyers as the few surviving specimens are whisked away into collector vaults! A prime opportunity.
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.
