Gold staters of this type were originally struck during the reign of Philip II of Macedon (359-336 BC). Featuring a portrait of Apollo on the obverse and a biga of horses on the reverse, they were a symbol of the king's power and success. The trusted type continued to be struck during the reign of Alexander the Great, in the name of his deceased father, and many more were issued into Philip III's reign. This coin, however, stands out from the rest. The dies used to strike this particular gold stater have been engraved with exceptional skill, resulting in a familiar-looking portrait.

1968-S Cent Bonded With a Costa Rica 5 Centimos Blank

1968-S 1C Lincoln Cent -- Bonded With a Costa Rica 5 Centimos Blank -- MS63 Red PCGS. The San Francisco Mint struck 1967-dated five centimos for Costa Rica. The 1967 mintage was 6,020,000 pieces, and the 1968 mintage was 4,840,000 pieces. The stainless steel coins had a diameter of 14.92 mm. San Francisco also struck Lincoln cents during 1968, with the S mintmark appearing for the first time on the denomination since 1955. A five centimos blank and a Lincoln cent planchet were fed together between 1968-S cent dies. The five centimos blank was fed on top of the cent planchet, relative to the obverse die, with the edges of the two flans aligned at 7:30. The five centimos blank indented the cent planchet during the strike. The right-side borders show incompleteness of strike, since the force of the strike was focused on the five centimos blank. Lincoln's shoulder, cheekbone, and forehead also show blending of impression. The bronze portion of the coin is Red save for a trio of moderate reverse spots. Lincoln's shoulder and the left obverse field display unobtrusive contact.
