Judd 1451 is an 1876 Indian Head Cent struck on a Copper-Nickel planchet. Three examples are known. In the past, these have been called off-metal errors, but there are a couple of arguments against such a designation. The first is the presence of lintmarks on the two highest-graded examples. Lintmarks indicate the dies or the planchets were wiped with a cloth before being placed in the coining press. They are seen primarily on Proof coins and rarely (if ever) on circulation strikes -- and certainly not on error coins. Second, the source of the planchets is speculative. For instance, the NGC "MS"64 example was reportedly struck on a Three-Cent Nickel planchet. However, the weight of that piece is .24 grams below the standard weight for a Three-Cent Nickel and, had the coin been struck on a smaller-diameter planchet (such as a Three-Cent Nickel), the denticles and peripheral details would have been weak and indistinct.
