Description
25¢, 1967-MS64/62, Matched Pair: Broadstruck, Reverse Struck Through Clad Layer, PCGS. Coin #1, graded MS64, is a broadstrike displaying pronounced spreading of the peripheral obverse legend. The reverse is softly impressed, and the border legends are so distorted they are nearly illegible.
Coin #2, graded MS62, is a broadstruck clad layer. Its obverse shows a clear brockage impression from the reverse of Coin #1, while the reverse exhibits moderate peripheral spreading.
The combined evidence suggests that a full planchet and a separated clad layer entered the striking chamber together, preventing the collar from engaging. As a result, the reverse design of Coin #1 was struck through Coin #2, creating this dramatic paired error.
