Lot 1293
1892. PCGS graded Mint Error EF-45. Struck on Foreign Planchet. One might well ask how did a foreign planchet get into the machinery at the Philadelphia Mint back in 1892. But the explanation is straightforward. The Mint throughout the late 19th century and even today strikes coins on contract for numerous foreight governments. Mistakes happen, but in 1892, they are really rather scarce, to say the least! (PCGS # 3853) .
Estimated Value $500 - 600.
