Extremely Rare 1920-d ,“DENVER” Lincoln Wheat Ear Cent
ONE-of-a-KIND DISCOVERY COIN, PCGS authenticated MINT ERROR/1920 D penny.
Discovered 2020… One Hundred Years after it was Struck !
A TRUE ERROR…A Colombian two centavos blank erroneously stuck in bin or mint press after centavos run… later struck as a LINCOLN WHEAT CENT… as you can see both coins share almost same dimensions… this coin however is Nickel and Copper.
😳😳😳😳😳… other than the color… the only dimension which is different from a wheat Penny is the thickness… The two centavos blank is thinner… note the weak strike especially on the reverse. (probably AU or higher condition if the dimensions were weighted into consideration) *also possible pin test scratch from mint on reverse and obverse should have provided for a straight grade…😳😳😳😳😳
Note this is DENVER MINTED ERROR.

Historical significance…. All 1920 Colombia 2c coins are important to the both the United States and Colombia. …mainly,
🤔 WHY WERE THE COLOMBIAN COINS PRODUCED IN THE UNITED STATES?
In 1920 & 1921 the 1c and 2c coins were actually struck, at cost, to help mend our relationship with Colombia after Teddy Roosevelt’s Incursion into Panama to assist a revolt and separation TWO decades before. The result of TR’s strategy, good or bad, was one of the greatest achievements of man… the Panama Canal…. Treaty finally mending our relationship with Colombia signed in 1921 the year Denver stopped producing the two centavos. So when these coins, including this error, were struck poor relations still existed. This error coin can be used to tell the story of a important part of American history for future generations!
🕵🏻♂️ (Research is ongoing… and I have been updating description accordingly & full details with some fun facts will be published as a “coffee table” book next year. )🕵️
Since a blank planchet was left over from a previous coin run this error is similar to how THE FAMOUS 1943-D bronze penny was created which sold for $1.7 million.
In 1920 US MINT @ DENVER STRUCK ~ 50 million Lincoln Wheat cents and ~4 million Colombian two centavos… this is one out of 4 million and then one out of 50 million!!! 😎👍🏻
(I’ve been asked more than a few times how it was discovered...“Found coin hunting a old sealed bank bag of wheat cents… had quite a few silver dimes and quarters. I was separating out the silver and any steal pennies when saw the reverse of, what I thought, was a 1943 steel cent … turned out to be this 1920-d.”
🕵🏻♂️(An additional MYSTERY … the detailed high definition pictures PCGS took, as well as the slabbed coin, appear brownish? 😳.
In hand or if the slab is tilted it appears silvery? I have no clue why? 🤷♂️)

I believe, after extensive research, this is the only
1920-d Lincoln Wheat Cent struck on a Colombia Two Centavos blank planchet. No past sales or auctions exist, therefore no “market value” exists yet… the value is strictly up to buyer to determine. If there are any past sales on a 1920-d Lincoln Wheat Cent struck on a Colombia two centavos blank planchet that you are aware of please let me know.
Note: “TEDDY ROOSEVELT’S PANAMA PENNY” is the name I gave this discovery coin… therefore you will not find it in coin publications …YET🤓.
