jonjer New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 05/05/2013 10:23 pm My father passed a few months ago and had a large collection and lot's of wheats. I came across this any ideas? I am fairly new to collecting but this seems way out of the ordinary. These coins have sat untouched for 50 years. I compared it to about 15 other 1956-d's he had. I'm calling it a "split 9" anyone see this before? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. Jon Report this Post to the Staff

jonjer New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 05/05/2013 11:03 pm Thanks for the response! You know I want to hear I found the newest error variety in the error prone 1956-d wheat though! LOL. Only thing is I cant find any other damage on the coin. Strange, as is your coin. Jon Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 05/05/2013 11:07 pm The molecular structure of metal is like layers. It is as if whatever struck the coin, struck it with enough force, at just the right spot to split the layer, and sheer it off at the precise area. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/06/2013 05:35 am The 41 looks like wrapping/counting machine damage and the 56 looks like it just took a hit.Is that an RPM on the 56? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
