tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 5:02 pm I sold off my big honkin' 1911-D lamination cent and bought this one for pretty much the same dollars. The 1911-D is a better date, but I think overall this is a better error coin for my collection. 1930 Lincoln Wheat cent - split planchet 2.19g Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 9:22 pm Sweet pick-up and amazing how sharp the line is between the normal coin surface and split planchet.

DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 9:41 pm Nice "trade" tropicalbats. Nice three way bidding war on your 1911. Edited by DrDon 04/26/2019 9:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 9:45 pm Very cool! I've never had the privilege of seeing a split planchet in person. Again, very nice coin! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 9:51 pm I was happy with the results from the 1911-D auction. Most laminations that strong and on a good date only come up as buy it now coins at relatively high prices, but I let mine go at auction. Even with the multiple bidders I think the buyer got a really fair deal on the coin. Not a bargain, but not overpaying either. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 9:54 pm Hey CoinHunter, After picking that clamshell out of a collection the other day I got to thinking that it really needed a nice companion coin to show what it looks like inside the coin. I have a fairly nice split planchet, but it's AU and has a gash so wanted something more striking and this one came up and I was sold. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 10:48 pm Sounds like it was a good pickup to me! I like my coins to go in sets too. I'm currently working on putting together a set of the 3 or 4 Strong doubled eyes (raw not slabbed) for the 1942 LWC listed in the CherryPickers Guide. Not a big set or anything exciting but they interest me and I already have FS-104, which is the harder one to acquire at a URS-4. The others should just be a matter of coming across them. Again, a very nice coin! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 04/26/2019 10:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 10:59 pm Those eyes aren't so easy to find. I've got an extra FS-103 in maybe F-12 if you want it to help out (send me a PM). And good luck on the set as it's a worthy one. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 11:02 pm Most severe one I've seen. It would have been so neat to get the other piece of the split with Lincoln's bust on it! (Although I did find one split before the strike that was only 1.5 g if I remember correctly.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 04/26/2019 11:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 04/26/2019 11:18 pm Thanks tropicalbats for the offer but I think I'm going to try to assemble it by searching some more. Very much appreciate the offer and the kind words. I can use the luck! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 04/26/2019 11:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
