Mated Pairs<br />
Mated pairs involve two individual coins with different<br />
errors that were struck together at the same time. Mated<br />
pair error combinations can be found in most error types and<br />
come in many shapes and sizes. Mated pairs can be overlapped<br />
when one of the coins is struck off-center on top of another<br />
coin. Another type involves a brockage where a struck coin<br />
was perfectly centered on a blank and restruck. Some mated<br />
pairs involve a die cap where the cap and brockage coin are<br />
discovered together, but this is a scarce find.<br />
The rarest mated pair type involves two die caps (obverse and<br />
reverse) where both dies were capped at the same time and both<br />
die caps are mated. This last type is extremely rare and there<br />
are only a few known examples of mated pairs involving an<br />
obverse die cap and reverse die cap. There are several of these mated pairs known on Kennedy Halves<br />
including two dated 1976, which is the Bicentennial year. One of the most spectacular mated pairs involve<br />
two Barber Dimes, an obverse die cap mated to a reverse die cap and are unique.<br />
Mated pairs can also involve an off-metal where a smaller blank planchet or smaller struck coin was struck<br />
on top of a larger coin. This type is extremely rare. The most spectacular pair known is a double struck<br />
Franklin Half which was mated to a Lincoln Cent. The Lincoln Cent blank was on top of the obverse of the<br />
struck Franklin Half. This pair was then struck together. It is unique.<br />
