ANACS 1978 Jefferson nickel struck on a cent planchet. The coin is struck on the copper-alloy planchet of a Lincoln cent, and is both the weight and metal of a Lincoln cent. Nice eye-appeal, with the copper appearance dramatically contrasting with a normal Jefferson nickel's appearance.
The error occurred when a cent planchet was fed into a Jefferson nickel coining press and was struck, resulting in a coin with the design of a nickel on the copper-alloy planchet of a cent.
