United States 5c (No Date), saddle struck on a 10% clad planchet, This multiple mint error began its life as a dime blank. It did not go through the upset mill, and it was fed between two sets of Jefferson nickel dies, with each set imparting a strike approximately 85% off center. One of the obverse dies was blocked by a nickel planchet. The force of the hammer dies caused the center of the unstruck portion to bend, hence the "saddle" error - a feature that is impossible to see on Canadian coins. This coin has been auctioned off four times in Heritage Auctions (2010, 2012, 2016, 2022), all with strong bidding. A  very cool and eye-appealing error, NGC MS-64.
