Were are your gloves? Fingers on copper is never a good idea. The other concern of mine is that you are using Blu Tack to hold the coin. The stuff contains hydrocarbons and oils and emits vapours that cause damage.

Gloves are cheap and disposable and the coins are nice and irreplaceable. The only way you could improve on those little beauties would be to find the elliptical clip that made that indent. There are other split planchet coins about, saw a 1968 Malaysian cent struck on a split planchet just by googling split copper coins, so the person who told you copper would not split is mistaken.

he shore was and he is a coin guru yes and to find that elliptical clip that caused the 5c would be a find of all coins but I do think it stuck to the die and might have been squashed into small Cuds would that be right to say would it be a cause off some Cuds on coins

Shanew, Not all indents of the configuration you show are from Elliptical Clips. Some are from Sheer Clip Tabs.

You're right. Rare they are no-matter what the exact type.
