I posted a 2006 P complete reverse bifurcated break in July 2012. I still have the coin. Here are the pics again. Today I find another 2006 P with a complete reverse bifurcated break. Looks almost identical to the one I found in 2012. 2012 Find  2018 today's find  I read an old post in which Mike Diamond discusses split die errors. Is that a more accurate description of this? I wonder: What are the chances of finding both 6 years apart CR searching? In 2012 I was in Maryland. My find today was a bank box in Georgia. How many of these occurred before the presses were stopped? How many got out of the Mint? Edited by southsav

I don't know but they are certainly dramatic! We don't need a close-up pic of those. Very nice!  ! |

Looks like they are from the same die.

That makes it even more of an amazing find! I was thinking from the same die also Coop. Mark, that is why was thinking the odds must be way up there. As soon as I saw it I had to pull up my nickel photos and pull my 2x2's out for a close comparison. It took me a while to find the old 2012 post. Many of you have been at this longer than I (therefore more experienced) and are much more knowledgeable than I. Thank you all! Edited by southsav

I'm wondering if both of these would count as a Split Die?

Those are sweet finds. I would love to have found just one of those. I edited this post because the original first part was me having a brain fart and not completely reading Doug's question.

Split Dies
Median (bisecting) split die
Definition: A split die develops when a rim-to-rim die crack extends deep into the die neck and die shank (shaft). The width of the split is proportional to its depth of penetration. Split dies usually divide the die face into two sub-equal parts. These may be termed "median", "bisecting", or "symmetrical" split dies. Errers and Varietys.

Bifurcating was the incorrect term for me to use. Both coins' breaks are 'bisecting' from rim to rim. |

Wow, those are fantastic finds and from the same Die. Incredible! What are the chances 6 years apart and 2 different states? Congratulations!
