Jefferson Nickel Mis–struck on a Penny Blank

Denver: United States Mint, 2000. What? 2000–D Jefferson Nickel. Double denomination, mistakenly struck on a one cent, copper colored blank. PCGS slabbed and graded “MS 66 RD” (MS is mint state and as made, including the cloud in front of Jefferson’s face, 66 is gem uncirculated, and RD is red, the original undulled, untoned penny color). 25 or so are known to us in all dates (this is the only 2000–D), and “MS 66 RD” is the highest grade for any of them in any date though a few with higher grades exist for other kinds of errors. Finest of all, so matchless for its condition, and for its date, so far, and explaining it seems as unnecessary as directions on a shampoo bottle, since its startling oddity is visually obvious immediately. Ex–Don Bonser, the foremost collection of error coins at auction in recent times (HA, $2,406 in 2021, probably what it’s worth for now). Mint State. Item #818

Price: $2,500.00
