1920 Lincoln Cent--Struck on a Cuba or El Salvador 1 Centavo Planchet--MS-63 (NGC).2.5 grams. This generally pewter gray example exhibits a few streaks of coppery color in the left obverse field and, in particular, through the central reverse. The planchet was a bit too small to take the full Lincoln cent design, and the left peripheral areas on both sides are off the flan. Those devices that are present are sharply defined, however, and the date is full. This example offers satiny Choice Uncirculated quality for this desirable wrong planchet error. The Philadelphia Mint struck 19,378,000 1 centavo coins for Cuba in 1920, as well as an additional 1,492,000 examples for El Salvador; the planchets for these issues provided the stock for this Mint error.
