WOW This is a great thread, at least for an error collecting beginner like me . Just to understand this error World !!
IMO, it should be in some kind of "stickies" at the beginning of the forum "Canadian Variety and Error Coins"
Just like any other "Tutorial" approved by mods.

My advice is that you learn to use the CCF search engines - even searches in this forum are very useful. There is a ton of information here.

I finally got around to digging in my error box and found my oldest split planchet strike and photographed it for this thread. This is a 1958 struck on a split planchet (1.58 g) and with a small rim clip near 6 o'clock. Traces of lustre, I grade this one at a nice AU.

Some very gorgeous coins here. Thanks for sharing! One of the few split planchets I have I picked up in an auction lot several years back. Best photo I have on hand is the auction listing.  I will have to dig it out to take a better pic. |

I thought I would add this coin to the thread. it is a split planchet of sorts, having come apart due to contamination in the planchet.   |

My newest one. I stopped buying these from 1978-1981, because there are so many out there, but when I see an older one with a readable date, I usually try to get it. This one is nice and lustrous, 1.62 grams.

Picked this one at Nuphilex last fall, split after the strike, and possibly split after it was circulated a bit as well. It weighs 1.64 grams. It is kind of cool to see the ghosting of the Queen on the split obverse side.

Excellent thread with great images and examples.
Congratulations and thanks to all that shared images.
(And as a reference for values and so the auction price isn't lost when the link no longer works that one sold for 375.00 +75.00 Canadian. Very nice)
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

those are fantastic Nickelsguy! could you post the weight of them as well?
the fragment is split after strike.
the other one is interesting...split before strike and then struck with another planchet in the chamber but off center with a portion that folded over during striking. I don't know what you would call that! lol. thanks for adding to the thread.
