hockingzig Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 07/29/2008 11:44 pm I know what a planchet is but what is split on a split planchet? Again, I hope I am not being bothersome with so many questions about terms. Report this Post to the Staff

The only thing with the planchet I have come across is a "Cracked" planchet. For those who want to learn a little about that: http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=19801 Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 07/31/2008 10:31 am There are also two different forms of split planchet...those that split before the coin is struck, and those that split after. Coins split before the strike are more scarce, but neither is especially rare. I have a 1957 cent that split before the strike that I will photograph for this thread if I get time to do it.
