Jake the Dog Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 7:10 pm Don't think so. Looks like split plaiting which can give the appearance of doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 7:14 pm I can see the die has a lot of wear, but I'm not seeing reduced devices. Report this Post to the Staff

Silverworld11 Pillar of the Community 613 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 7:29 pm Not a Error,other then the Zinc Cents Break Down way to fast. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 7:31 pm oh okay, the color difference tipped you? broke down when the die hit it? Edited by CoinMasters 03/18/2015 7:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Silverworld11 Pillar of the Community 613 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 7:33 pm How Split Plating can happen is the force is to strong for the plating when the coinage is struck for Zinc Cents. Cooper is better at explaining SP then I. Report this Post to the Staff
Silverworld11 Pillar of the Community 613 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 7:35 pm Yes,that is how I weed them out from a RPM,but you can have a RPM with SP. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 7:37 pm understood I figured it happened when struck thus the doubling. you knew it was split plating because of color difference? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 7:45 pm I don't use a lot of capitals because I type so slow. sometimes I get my answers before I post the question. thank you so much. I certainly am getting an education here at the family. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 7:50 pm Look at this topic: Split / Peeling Plating PART V. Planchet Errors: Plating Errors: Split / Peeling plating It can be found here: http://www.error-ref.com/?s=split+plating Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 8:08 pm I read it, pete2226, so it is an error. the copper stretched too thin and separated. the main error in my opinion is the zinc, not being hard enough. it didn't occur with the copper pennies. that's why zinc rhymes with stink. thanks for the link.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 9:33 pm The strike broke the plating. Thus now it is deteriorating. Happens a lot even on RPMs. Report this Post to the Staff
