@TROP. Nice find, no doubt. Your coin will go out from my lab with at least 3 full page of explanations.
1. You say split planchet. OK your terminology. Because it is 1.33 do not mean split. This it is due to the end of the roll which was not cut (some operators bypass theirs assignments) so I see tinny planchet.
2.One side show an Woody effect which is characteristic for end of the roll.
3. An diffused Ex-foliation is see over on the Pres side with one very impressionist, from side to side of the coin in almost prefect parallel lines (diff. 1 to 1.5 deg.)
4. Impressionist the other side show light strike due to the dimensions of the planchet and no ex-foliation (lamination on your vocabulary) and very, very rare incidents.
For 12.50 IMPOSSIBLE to have better.
I am glad for you.
