Here is a link that explains and shows it well. https://www.error-ref.com/split-plating/ -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 12/08/2021 7:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

We try very hard to make CCF a friendly place, with a focus on learning. You should expect to be treated with respect here. Welcome! Also, I agree with @make's assessment of this being split plate doubling. The underlying zinc core is very clearly visible.

This is always only on the fields and in the direction to the closest rim.(neither have a premium. Just a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/09/2021 5:46 pm I agree, split plating. Next stop, zinc rot since the zinc is now exposed. With zinc rot,the coin literally eats itself. Spend it while you can! Please always show us the entire coin, both sides so we can better assist you. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
