sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21793 Posts	Posted 02/23/2020 12:37 am Without pictures, my guess is that it has been dipped in acid, and the detail remaining is very indistinct. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 17012 Posts	Posted 02/23/2020 03:51 am It sure sounds like an acid-dipped coin, rather than a mint error. But without pics it's impossible to be certain. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21793 Posts	Posted 02/24/2020 5:19 pm Split planchet possibility cannot be dismissed. I have seen a New Zealand CuNi 10 Cents split planchet, that broke into three perfectly round components. With this particular planchet error, the remains of the obverse and the reverse image could be seen, but the surfaces exhibited a very rough appearance of metal distress, quite different from evidence supporting corrosion from acid.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/26/2020 1:51 pm Struck on a split planchet, especially one that is paper thin, it most likely wouldn't have everything readable. Not enough material to strike up details. Report this Post to the Staff
