This coin has been presented on another discussion, but I think it's appropriate to show it on this showcase for future reference. A nice 5 Cents 1962 struck on a planchet that was split before strike. The weight is 2.22 grams. Normal coin weight should be 4.54 gr. Thanks to SPP-Ottawa for the identification of this error.

I am posting this one on behalf of Zimmy. It is a 1981 split before strike and weighs 1.4 grams which is 50% of the normal weight. I like the striations on the reverse, the barely visable date, and the strong strike at 9 o'clock. Nice one Zimmy!   |

  I'm bringing this coin back with This forum because I think I recently cleared part of how it came to be! Fold over before strike and unfold after leaving mint! The shiny part of coin is mirrored at the fold, it was folded before the coin was struck. The reverse is weakly struck at points because of the extra thickness caused by the foldover. An owner before me unfolded the coin and it ended up in a $25 dollar bag of cents at a bank! Lucky ME! Edited by Zonad
