Nelrak Pillar of the Community United States 974 Posts	Posted 08/12/2008 01:30 am I found this the other day...never seen one in real life but I think it has all the markings of a split planchet. It's not a " Magician's coin gone bad" is it? I think it's neat how you can see the Monticello and the outline of Jefferson's head on the reverse. Any comments/insights?

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 08/12/2008 08:34 am Yes, lamination, but...when the lamination covers the entire side of the coin, you have a different and more valuable coin. This coin is a delamination, more specifically, a split planchet, split after the strike. No idea of value, I don't follow the error market...but it is better that you have the date than the other guy who ended up with the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 08/12/2008 10:46 pm As others have indicated, the coin split after the strike. Value would be somewhere between $20 and $30. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
