This was out of a bag of 1961-P Jeffersons. I was poring it out and this pop out like a sore thumb. I just sing for it and took some new pic. I'll let you guess for a little.

I'm going to abstain from the guessing game but I'm very curious to know how the insert on that holder reads (and not just the grade part).

<< <i>What a great discovery. Did you have reservations about sending it for grading? I'd also love to know what you thought the error was before you sent it in Vs what the outcome was. In other words were you surprised by the outcome? >>
No reservations P.C.G.S is the best that I've worked with and it shows in the price book they are tuff on grading but when you are buying a coin. That is the holder you want it in. But I was Very Very surprised with the outcome it looked like a Nickel on a Dime planchet so that was my guess when I sent it in to P.C.G.S for grading. Then I saw the holder today it was like "WoW" This is cool a U.S coin on a Philippine .10 cent planchet. This is not what I thought at all there was one collector that was on top of it and that was, Leo he said it might be a foreign planchet and it was. This was a very cool find for me and I think the board, Steviewah Thanks for asking about my new old coin that is in my Collection now, Type2.

Congrats on a killer find.....
You know, I hear it said a lot ,
"I never find anything" or no way I could be that lucky and so on.....
Well, you gotta make an effort an LOOK FOR THEM...then they say, look for what,
then I say ,you will know when you find it....go look!

What did this bring at a past auction? I remember seeing a Teletrade link in another thread of yours regarding this coin but can't seem to find it.

<< <i>That was a Nickel on a Silver Dime $488.75 . I dont know what this one will bring any guess?
That has to be rarer than a nickel on dime planchet, just think about how many dimes were struck in Philadelphia vs how many Philippines Ten Centavos. I would expect it to be worth more than a nickel on silver dime, but how much more will depend on finding an interested buyer (or in the case of an auction, two interested buyers

<< <i>I am still curious how someone (Leo) is so astute as to ascertain that the planchet was of foreign origin. How does one know that? And how would it end up in a U.S. Mint process anyway? >>
The US struck coins for the Philippines for quite a while
because I did remember something about a Mint branch at Manila. If I'm reading this correctly,
the US only struck coinage for the Philippines until 1945. The country became
"The Independent Republic of the Philippines on July 4th, 1946".
If this is true, how did a Philippine planchet end up in Philadelphia in 1961, 15 years later?
Maybe some much overdue cleaning at the mint?
Can anyone shed further light on this? I'm intrigued now and would love to know more
of the history surrounding this.

There's a list of foreign countries the US Mint has made coins for in this weblink. I was a bit surprised nyself. I thought the coin was foreign due to some of the markings on the coin in question. I also believed it was a coin from Venezuela but it was Fred W. who said it might be a Philippine 5c centimos.
Obviously, PCGS couldn't make out what foreign country the dime came from. It would be worthy to see pictures of the foreign coins the US MInt has made in the last few years. Not that there's already a catalog available for that purpose but it would be helpful and interesting to make reference to.
