Selva Valued Member Malaysia 69 Posts	Posted 08/28/2025 10:06 am Hi to all. Just wondering if this 1996 Lincoln could be a split planchet or just a normal coin. Will appreciate your opinions. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 08/28/2025 11:19 am I think you have your terminology wrong, that is not even close to a split planchet, please explain in detail what you are seeing. It just looks like a normal cent worth a cent. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94992 Posts	Posted 08/28/2025 12:58 pm This looks like a normally struck cent. perhaps a weight of it would be of assistance here. Collecting since 1972.

Selva Valued Member Malaysia 69 Posts	Posted 08/28/2025 1:35 pm Thanking all for taking the time to reply. Would somebody be able to post a picture of a split planchet coin highlighting the exact place of the error in the coin. It would be very helpful as I am trying to understand and learn about coin errors. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: Split planchets occur when impurities trapped in the metal causing the planchet to split apart. a split planchet is essentially a lamination error. this split may occur before or after the planchet is struck and this creates 2 distinct categories of split planchets, 'split before strike' and 'split after strike'.
