kazishin New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/10/2018 1:43 pm My first post. This coin has me puzzled. If it was done intentionally...how? The cut is barely enough for a piece of paper. Thanks!! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/10/2018 1:45 pm That looks sawed into. When you hold it up to the light, is that whole area missing? Or can not see light? Also the weight. If sawed into, it will be lighter. If it is split, then the weight should be normal. Edited by coop 08/10/2018 3:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74678 Posts	Posted 08/10/2018 1:49 pm to CCF! That is Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). It's damage. It looks like someone cut into the planchet with a saw. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 08/10/2018 1:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
kazishin New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/10/2018 1:50 pm You're right, you can see the light through it. Don't have a scale to weigh. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/10/2018 1:52 pm Don't need to then. I'd save it to show to a new collector on what extremes a coin murderer will go to to try to make it look like an error coin. Split planchet: Split clam shell" Could have been the motive of his actions. Edited by coop 08/10/2018 1:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

nemlas Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 08/10/2018 3:12 pm My thoughts are someone was trying to make a magicians' coin. You see these a lot on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/10/2018 3:46 pm I'm thinking someone testing or playing with an EDM or similar type cutting machine. The depth of cut is only limited by the machines design. Or as coop mentioned, someone maybe practicing or playing with a jewelers saw. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/13/2018 1:05 pm Took a look on a jewelers supply site and you can get saw blades down to .007 inches wide. A typical sheet of copy paper is .004 inches thick. So a saw blade not quite the thickness of two sheets of copy paper. Report this Post to the Staff
