Some of the lighter shades visible on the obverse in front of Lincolns head almost appear to be luster... Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/31/2012 01:28 am I don't see the metal grain striations you would expect to see with a pre- or post-strike split planchet. If it is light, then it is most likely struck on thin stock. With further investigation, a weight along with specific gravity measurement or XRF analysis could be cross-referenced with foreign coins minted in the US at the time to see if any of those planchet match up.

I remember seeing the striations on a coin I found awhile back. I don't see anything on this one. When I showed it to my local dealer, he mentioned "thin stock" also. Thanks for all the feedback.
