I should share with this forum that my user name "Broken-Coin" was what my granddaughter tells me when I let her hold some really nice error coins...
When she was about four years old and held some multi-struck coins, her reply was, "Look Grandpa, The Coins Are Broken"...
From then on she will ask, "grandpa, can I look at the broken coins?"

check out this doooooozy The seller says "Will be PACKAGED CAREFULLY TO REACH YOU IN VERY GOOD CONDITION "  I'm not sure how this might happen unless there is a miracle.  Must put a watch on this. If it sells for a high price I might be tempted to fire up the Oxy-acet set! Jeff |

The seller's ebay ID gives some clues, I think, as to how this concoction may have come about....!! A feedback score of 66% doesn't inspire confidence....  Found this tattered 50c in a Chubb roll today- wonder what it's worth on ebay?  |

It should easily bring $100. I would start the listing at $50 for sure. |

Congratulations on your find - looks remarkably like a distressed pneumatic compression variety. It's hard to put a value on these as they don't come up too often  |

Ha Ha, yes, $50 may get a nibble or two...! Only problem is, I may get a genuine collector who'll neg. me after doing the deal  Actually, it was in such a terrible state I needed to do a scan of it just to find out what date it is, so as to put into the coin survey - went with 2006.....  |

So do ya reckon the hole is where the oxy torch was placed to get the heat into the inside of the coin to make it blow up & melt on to the other coin as well ? sounds good to me anyway LOL.
