A dramatic and highly collectible U.S. Mint error: Jefferson nickel struck on a silver dime planchet, certified MS62 by PCGS. This striking off-metal error occurred when a 10¢ silver planchet intended for dime production was mistakenly fed into the nickel press, resulting in a Jefferson nickel design struck on the smaller silver blank. The error produces the distinctive undersized appearance and incomplete design details visible along the edges. Major wrong-planchet errors like this are among the most sought-after categories in U.S. mint error collecting due to their clear visual impact and the rarity of cross-denomination strikes. The coin retains strong detail considering the size mismatch and has been professionally authenticated and encapsulated by PCGS, the industry leader in third-party grading.
