Since I'm in a Error Mood. Philippine 25 sen struck on US Nickel Planchet

Makes it heavier and thicker than a regular 25 Sen, wish it was the other way round.
But struck on US Nickel bank gives it some more interest.

    For comparison, here is a normal 1970 Philippines 25 sentimos... the color is obviously different on the CuNi error.

    Two strike-ins of different material it looks like. Maybe plastic and copper?

    Yeah I never noticed the smaller one until I posted it today. I have owed this coin for years. I think I heard the larger on was plastic but looks coppery to me and the smaller looks like some metal. Jon may know for sure.

    Lots of error coins today... I have not collected errors, however, I always find them very interesting, and have learned a lot about how many of them occur. Cheers, RickO
