1964-D Lincoln Struck on Gold Planchet

ozzysdad

Anyoe, know anything about references to cents struck on gold quarter Eagle planchets, I have read one article that said there is a 1906 Indian cent, and a few others on Lincoln cents, but can't find a reference for the value? I need some help on this one. Please , anyone?

Sorry, but I think what you have is just a badly corroded coin!

The 1906 Indian cent struck on a gold planchet didn't make reserve in a combined ANR/Stacks auction in June. There's no mention of any Lincolns "gold cents" but the write-up is interesting.

I remember reading about some legitimate Lincoln cents struck on gold $2.5 planchets (in an old article written by Bowers) but they are early dates, I believe 1915 was one and a few others. They are not as 'common' as the Indian Cent. At the very least they were possible since the mint was still producing gold coinage at the time.

Ozzysdad, yours is most likely not gold or an outright fake, but who knows. Post a pic so we can see it.

I can understand a cent minted on a gold planchet during or just after the gold striking days, but 32 years after the effect sounds a bit odd to me. I'd have to vote fake until seeing what the piece weighs.

They may have been 22 years early and struck it on a GAE planchet...

Your first lead as to gold Lincolns

Can someone please explain to me how the H, E, double hockey sticks a gold planchet winds up mixed in with the copper ones?? That's an EXPENSIVE mint error. Sounds to me like human intervention is required for something like that to occur.

Here is the image of the 1964-D, I'm kind of new at this scanning and adding pics, so, bare with me.

P.S. The Diameter is smaller than a penny, about 18mm. and the thickness is about the same as a dime, don't have a weight yet, but will on Monday.

There's no way these are errors, IMHO.

Ozzysdad, It's an acid treated penny. If it were real gold, I seriously doubt it would be that corroded.

Gold, being much softer than copper, should have a SHARP strike. Also since it is basicly inert it would not have the corosion roughness shown on your coin. It would also weigh almost close to 4.18 grams since gold is more than twice as dense as copper.
