It's essential to have it in the title. * I have a 19? Lincoln Penny that weighs 3.04 grams. I am unsure of the date. Is this just PMD? The coin in question is the middle one. It has a slight gap away from the coin on the right. I took my pictures outside for better lighting. Thank you ahead of time for looking and y'all's opinion! Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74247 Posts	Posted 07/14/2025 9:18 pm Just a badly damaged coin. Not a Split Planchet. Could have been sanded down, or went through a dryer at some point. Who knows, but it's PMD, not an error. For reference, here's what a real Split Planchet error looks like. The weight would be lower than normal and the surfaces would be rough. https://www.error-ref.com/split_plan_before/ Errers and Varietys.
