Nice! I had an NGC AU50 back in 2001 . Bought it for $3500....then a record price. Flipped it in a Bowers & Morena auction 6 months later for $7475...a new record price for this error. I believe the record still stands. You have a real beauty. Congrats!!
I think hat is is quite a nice coin, congrats on your purchase.

You did good 👍
I think wrong planchets are always fun.
Very cool. I like it a lot.
Very nice.

Nice buy and nice mint error. If you can tell us the purchase price that is even more nicer.
I know it's none of our business but that must have cost a pretty penny.
Verry cool error!

Maybe it's because I am looking at it on my small laptop screen, but that looks like it was broadstruck, or struck with a partial collar, The rim to the left of LIBERTY is wider and flatter than I would expect, even accounting for the smaller planchet expanding within the larger collar. I don't suppose the NGC holder allows you to see enough of the edge to confirm this?

Wouldn’t that just be the result of the smaller planchet not fully seated and wiggling around? Don’t most smaller off planchets have strike issues with pressure or placement unless grabbed by a recess/device in the die.
Funny thing is that is one of the few examples in numismatics of a coin being worth less struck in a finer metal

It's ironic that the silver 1943 cent is the poor man's copper 1943 cent.

I want to know weight and specific gravity. My first thought upon looking at the pictures was struck on a foreign planchet, but of course I could not say that that is what it is without more information.

I can post pictures of the raw coin later tonight. The coin’s weight is 2.49 grams. I weighed it before I sent it in and it is also on the PCGS label. I don’t believe it was broadstruck, but I’ll take another look when it comes back. I should have it tomorrow.
@PerryHall Yes, the first thing I thought when I got it was “too bad it’s not copper”. 😆
Good enough for me!
Here are some pictures taken in different light of the raw coin before I sent it to PCGS. @CaptHenway @seanq
Nice AU coin – I’ve always liked that date on a silver dime planchet – who wouldn’t?
Thank you.
Very cool; nice pickup!

Nice coin! Off-metals are great to collect, especially war time pieces!
That’s very cool! 👍
