Mated 1973-S Lincoln Cent Pair PR67 RB NGC
<B>Mated 1973-S Lincoln Memorial Cent Pair PR67 Red and Brown NGC.</B></I> One of the two NGC coins is graded MS67 Red and Brown, an oversight since both pieces were struck as proofs. Two planchets were fed between the dies at a time when the collar die was blocked. The two planchets partly overlapped during the strike. The first cent, coin #1, is 40% off center toward 12:30 and has an 75% indent on the reverse from coin #2. The indent of coin #1 is centered at 7 o'clock relative to the reverse. Coin #2 is 45% off center toward 12:30, relative to the reverse. The obverse of coin #2 has a 90% obverse indent from coin #1. The struck surfaces are mostly orange-gold with blushes of plum-mauve toning. Significant proof errors are rare, since they are subject to close mint supervision. Mated pair proof errors are even more difficult to acquire.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Victor D.
