Au contraire, it could be reeded if it was a struck 2.5 dollar gold that was placed twixt the dies. I have a darksider not as interesting that was a Brit 1953 sixpence overstruck by 1982 one pence dies with residual reeding.
Love that Milled British (1830-1960) Well, just Love coins, period.
It is physically possible for the coin to be simply an exotic off-metal, as the $2-1/2 gold planchet would fit in a cent collar. The fact that (according to Rick's earlier post) another off-metal strike in silver is known from the same die pair would lend credence to the notion that these were struck deliberately, so I tend to agree with listing it as a pattern.
However you decide to categorize it, it's a breathtaking coin and I'm very happy to finally see a good picture of it... I only wish I could see it in person.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

While you're answering Charmy... does that weigh out as the same as a dime, and am I correct in thinking that it is a Type-I blank?
The nicest silver Indian Cent (other than the 1909 eleven cent piece) I've ever seen was an 1869, I'd love to see pics of that coin again.

Rick - wow, that is a cool coin, but not the one I was thinking of. This one was a single normal strike on a dime planchet, it was offered in the late 1990s by a young west coast error coin dealer who only lasted a couple of years in the business. IIRC it was graded by NGC in an AU grade, maybe AU55.

I think it's in Xan Chamberlain's IHC error collection some of it can be viewed ATS where it's posted.
Worth checking out as it's an intense collection formed over a quarter of a century... a really nice fellow too!
Edited to add... yup NGC MS66 link

If you mean this one, it is copper-nickel, a J-669 double struck. This was featured in the last issue of Longacre's Ledger.

That is MINDBLOWINGLY cool.
So nicely centered, too.
Can't help but wonder if it was deliberately done or not. I suspect it was.
What a truly amazing piece.
