1998 Lincoln Cent--Two Planchet Bonded Set--MS-65 RD (NGC).This bonded pair capped the obverse die and expanded to a maximum depth of approximately 12 mm. The sides of the cap are primarily silver gay from the exposed zinc cores, the base and the bottom of the cap with sharp obverse and reverse designs and dominant bright pinkish-orange color from the copper plating. The planchets have bonded together near-seamlessly with only a single prominent dent (as made) in the cap at 1 oclock relative to the obverse. A bold and dramatic error. Due to its size this piece has not been encapsulated, but it is accompanied by NGC Photo-Certificate #2009397-026 and an accompanying insert with the same number, both of which provide an NGC grade of MS-65 RD.
