Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 12:00 pm Going through some Lincoln cents and found this extraordinary 1974 D Lincoln Cent. How it survived I have no clue but here it is. I need some help telling me how this could have happened. Experts please advise as to what I need to do. Is it worth sending off and authenticated?

The planchet split before the strike happened. Here's a link to the Split Planchet error. Nice find by the way! http://www.error-ref.com/split_plan_before/ Errers and Varietys.
