Off-metal is a term used when a coin is struck on a planchet made of a different material than intended. This $1 coin is struck on a 5.66 gram copper-nickel planchet that should have been a 10 cent piece instead of the usual aluminium bronze 9 gram one dollar planchet.
This error coin is a wrong planchet and an off-metal planchet error. It’s spectacular to see what should be a golden coloured coin to be silvery.
Graded by PCGS as MS64 this mint error coin is described by them as “Struck on 10C Plan”.
