I love errors that have an unknown date. It adds a little extra mystery. A split and cracked planchet that got mangled a bit along the way. The rim beside D.G. is quite thick compared to the rest of the rim. It can be seen in the side photos the difference in rim thickness.
Weight is 1.94 grams.

Upon further inspection of this coin, it is not mangled at all. The condition of the obverse of the planchet looks pretty mangled but nothing is scraped or gouged. It is actually quite organic in its structure. I would say that the planchet was like this when it entered the chamber and there wasn't enough metal to obliterate it when struck.
