Lot 1420
1941 Thick Planchet. PCGS graded AU-55. An interesting piefort piece that predates the 1942 Thick Planchet Pattern Cents by a full year. In fact, this piece may be a Pattern issue rather than a mint error, as we know of no possible thick planchet foreign coins that were being struck at Philadelphia at the time. PCGS calls this a Mint Error, which is a safe designation for the time being, until more research can be completed. In any event, we've estimated this piece at a fraction of the 1942 White Metal and Bronze Piefort pieces we offered in our May 2003 sale. Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000
