1999-D 10C Dime--Broadstruck on a Cent
<B>1999-D 10C Roosevelt Dime--Broadstruck on a Cent Planchet--MS65 Brown NGC.</B></I> 2.5 gm. Under most circumstances, wrong-metal errors involving planchets of larger diameter than the design allows are impossible; the flan simply would not fit due to the presence of the collar. In a broadstrike, however, coins can be struck out-of-collar, which would bypass that restriction and permit the striking of an unusual error. Such was the case with the origin of this fascinating piece.<BR> Blue-green, violet, and gold-orange elements grace each side of this Gem. Significant unstruck margins surround the central elements. The devices are sharp, as one might expect from the excess metal, and the eye appeal is strong. An exciting and interesting error that seems impossible at first glance.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> John R.
