Nice one. A cracked planchet that made it through the upsetting mill (rimmed) intact as a planchet flaw (look opposite of the flaw) but looks like it cracked apart right after the strike...
Thanks for sharing!

Impressive looking error!
I don't understand how this happened. If it made it through the rimming process intact why do we see tapering off at the rims and evidence of Blakesley effect. If it wasn't intact why don't we see more tapering off at the break point. Was a piece already missing,or the planchet deformed before the rimming?

I suspect the planchet was flawed before rimming.... here is a similar example, but still intact (barely).

My thought is that the cracked planchet buckled as it was being rimmed so that one side shows weakness on the rim at clip while the other side shows weakness opposite to the clip. The planchet stayed together until after it was struck. If it broke apart before it would show more weakness in the legend near the clip.
NICE coin!
