Fenian Valued Member Canada 79 Posts	Posted 09/01/2020 01:42 am By far the nicest split planchet in my collection. I picked this up at the 2019 RNCA convention. 2.3 gram split planchet, 100% indent reverse. PCGS MS63. Report this Post to the Staff

robmck1967 Pillar of the Community Canada 870 Posts	Posted 02/06/2021 5:16 pm here is a new addition to my split planchet set. As you can see, this one is a double error and I guess would be described as a clipped split planchet, split before strike. this one is from 1981 and it weighs 1.61 grams. There is a nice Blakesley effect for the clip on the obverse and strong dovetailing of the rims at the clip. the obverse has a weak strike and the striations from the split are quite visible on the reverse.

Bond632 Valued Member Canada 98 Posts	Posted 02/07/2021 4:11 pm What an interesting post, thanks rob and all who contributed. This confirms how much I still need to learn, and how limited and generic my collection is. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 02/08/2021 10:51 am Very nice!! Love those coins with two different errors in a single strike!

SP67 Valued Member Canada 234 Posts	Posted 04/18/2021 07:56 am I want to present you few of my split planchets. The first two coins are quite classical for this type of error and show a split before strike with the conventional striation pattern and weak strike. Coin 1 Coin 2 The third one confused me when I got this coin. I was thinking that was a split after strike. But it's still a split before strike as explained by robmck1967 in the first post of this subject. The striations are quite smooth and were flattened by a normal planchet overlapping the split one during strike. The superposition of two planchets results in a strong strike as shown on the obverse. Coin 3 The last one is the most interesting. It shows a nice planchet lamination problem with a weight of 1.28g. The can still see a retained lamination. Coin 4 Let me know if you notice other observations, or if I'm wrong with my descriptions. Edited by SP67 04/18/2021 08:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 04/18/2021 10:33 am SP67 nice coins. However I believe coin #3 split after strike as the rim would be totally flattened by second planchet. Just my two nickles worth. Report this Post to the Staff
