Wow, this is a crazy looking Zincoln!

Seems like what Graviton could make while high on Gravitonium!

Anyone have an idea of how this was made?

    Maybe it passed through a black hole

    Jammed up , peeled back, rolled over, then put through the Smashing device which gave it the tied in a knot look. JMO. Great
    coin, but how did it get through Quality Control? without a clear date?

    Is that thing in a graded slab? Is gravity-fused a known mint error term? Peace Roy

    Yes.

    Not that I'm aware of, which is why I asked how this was made.

    Also, does the Mint come up with error terms, or is it error collectors that do?

    I wonder what the standards are that kept it from being a 64, or saved it from MS62. What are their comps?

    I wonder the same thing. How in the world do you grade something like this?

    I am confused... they call it a cent, but there appears to be a clad layer. The label says "Foldover on 2 PLNS"... So what was the other coin? Cheers, RickO

    It’s two Lincoln copper-plated zinc cents.

    They're the outer "petals" of probably a bonded pile up, with these outer pieces all folded over on top of each other after being struck. Sometimes they're referred to as "shrapnel", since they're misc bits of an error that broke aware.
