CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2858 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:47 pm Very pleasantly surprised by this recent pickup. I got this coin along with a minor clipped 10c for $15 shipped. Sellers photos weren't great but I could make out the capped strike error. The die split at 6:00 was the surprise though suspected from the photos. I'm not sure this qualifies as a "split die" since there is no connection to the rim visible though it does seem to continue through the eye brow before disappearing. The coin comes in slightly underweight at 4.80 g which is a little puzzling. Maybe from circulation wear? This nickel did see some street time and even made it to a roll ender position evident by wheel marks on reverse. Fortunately the business side of the error made it through fairly clean.
