johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1620 Posts	Posted 08/03/2018 12:00 am After reading SPP's response on this post: http://goccf.com/t/325008&whichpage=2 I wanted to post this penny to get opinions on whether it is a post-strike split planchet. Well-struck reverse, and blurred obverse with a striation pattern visible. However, the weight (2.7 g) is only slightly less than a normal 1981 penny (2.8 g). Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/03/2018 12:36 am Struck through a late-stage die cap? That's the best I can come up with. It's cool looking, in any case.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 08/03/2018 01:47 am Not a split planchet. Looks to be struck through a large stage die cap that is starting to wrinkle...

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74355 Posts	Posted 08/03/2018 01:55 am I was thinking the same thing as well. It was Struck Through a Die Cap. Very nice find and congratulations! Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 08/03/2018 08:03 am I agree that it was struck through a late-stage die cap (or a mid-stage uniface die cap). Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1620 Posts	Posted 08/03/2018 1:19 pm Thanks everyone. Would this then be a 'rarer' late-stage die cap, as it was stuck to the anvil die? Most of the die caps I have seen have the reverse blurred (thus having stuck to the hammer die?)... Report this Post to the Staff
