stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 07/27/2022 10:14 pm I picked this one out a dealers junk box many years ago. Never got around to photographing it. Looking at the reverse pick , there sure does look like evidence of a D mintmark. Just for fun , that's what I will label it now. weight is 2.5G.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 02:32 am Complete coin splits sometimes happen. They are usually the result of oil or some other liquid being incorporated by mechanical error during the rolling of the metal strip, before blanking. A gross lamination flaw. Better still are coin errors, where the coin is still barely holding together. It seems that this coin easily escaped the Mint as a complete coin, and split many years later, in circulation. Wear provides evidence of the decades of circulation needed, to cause the split. Report this Post to the Staff
