I believe I have a Split (before strike?) Planchet I just found CRH.  This is very similar to a 1981 Canadian Cent the CCF community helped me to identify as a Split Before Strike Planchet about six months ago, but this one is different in that the date is unreadable. This Lincoln Cent here weighs 1.46 grams, and has fully developed rims on both faces. I tried taking a couple of photos to show the edge, but it was difficult. It is about half the thickness of a regular cent.     Is this indeed a Split Phanchet, and if so, is it Before or After Strike?  |

I think it's split after strike, right? Before would look more like mine. Bad pics but you get the point. Amazing CRH find by the way!   Edited by Willburton

I agree with Wilburton. Split after the strike.
