Well the obverse certainly could use some conservation work here, so I took a porcupine quill to a bit of the amoeba eating Lincoln's face and it came off just fine. I don't have time to detail a coin like this right now although probably a lot of the other stuff could be gotten off as well. At some point maybe I at least free him from his attacker.

And... I see a planet! Never found a coin that looks so much like a planet as the reverse of this one.

I love it!

Just keep looking. I'm sure you can find the other half.

Thanks! What I find most intriguing about this one is that it really looks like it wasn't circulated much, and is so obviously underweight to be laughable, yet has all that apparent circulation crud on the obverse.

If that is an image of Jupiter, then it is upside down - I see the great red spot at the top right of this coin.

Depending on how much of a piece of copper fragment when the metal was cold rolled onto the stock material, this doesn't adhere to the hot rolled area. Thus after the stock was cut, into blanks, the setup process may have loosened that planchet but stayed together until the planchet was struck. When a it was made into a coin, it later split off of the hot rolled metal, and the cold rolled metal when on it way in a different direction. Thus this was a hot rolled/cold rolled issue on the stock material. Depending on how larger the cold rolled metal was on that area, more than one coin would be affected in that batch of blanks. That is why they don't adhere together and split off on a coin at a later time. This is also what happens to lamination errors, but the metal is a lot thinner.

Just smaller areas were cold rolled onto the hot roll stock. Later fall off of the coin, post strike.

I think that the separation was during the strike. in fact the forces of the strike accelerate the separation and the ejecting the coins push two semi coins instead of one full. No aging coin signs here.
