RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 8:19 pm I know the planchet is split but would these be clips on the obverse. Just noticed today it may also be clipped with the split planchet. Thanks for any info Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 8:39 pm Very nice split before strike coin ! From here it looks like the weak areas of the rim were from the split planchet as I can't see any missing areas from the round of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 8:52 pm Thanks stoneman227. I wasn't sure what that was. I noticed the weakness and both looked slightly clipped so I had to ask Report this Post to the Staff

QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 05/27/2021 12:14 am Very nice split Planchet (before strike). Weakness galore! Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 05/27/2021 05:45 am RW1010 , it just hit me that your split before strike example is very similar to mine. They just show the split on opposite sides of each coin. Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 05/27/2021 11:54 am Thanks QuarterHoarder72 and stoneman227. I didn't know where those lines came from now I know its from the split side. Glad you shared that photo Report this Post to the Staff
