I was not sure what this was referred to as, until I found it on Error-Ref, "Split Planchet After Strike". LINK https://www.error-ref.com/split_plan_after/ -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 12/01/2022 07:49 am In my opinion - you seem to be missing a bit of your nickel (the back-side) Very nice find! (If it were a cent coin - I would almost call it a woody too) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/01/2022 1:07 pm Split off, post strike Nickel. What causes this to happen? It is from a thicker lamination that causes this to split off post strike. (Thus the rim on the obverse or reverse) Even partial splits can be seen on the edges of the planchets called a clam shell: These don't split off, because the lamination is not center on the planchet, they just start to show the split on the edges. This question was in my mind for years, until I figured out what happened. The lamination was thicker or thinner and the location of the cut of the blank would determine how it would end up. Then it all clicked on day how this happened. CoopHome: What causes a split planchet? thick lamination errors and location of the clip of the blanks. Report this Post to the Staff
