This 1980-D Lincoln Cent was struck on an unidentifiable silver planchet with a weight of 2.1 grams. U.S. silver Dimes were not struck since 1964 on 2.5g planchets.

The Mint Error News website has a 69 page report of coins struck by the U.S. Mint for foreign countries. It is the most comprehensive report available anywhere and there are no foreign planchets listed that match or even come close to this 2.1g silver planchet in weight and composition.

Foreigners In The Mint

NGC was unable to identify the 2.1g silver planchet. It is certainly an exciting and rare Lincoln Cent off-metal surrounded in mystery.
