PCGS 1979 Jefferson nickel struck on a cent planchet. The coin is and off-metal since it is copper, and is smaller than a normal nickel, since it is struck on the 3.1 gram planchet of a cent.

The error occurs when a cent planchet is fed into a press that is striking nickels and is struck into a coin with the design of a nickel, but with the planchet of a cent.

Note: PCGS put "1c" on the holder, when it is correctly a "5c."

MS63 Red with a blue/brown area of toning reverse.
