I've come across this a couple of times before and I'm just as perplexed as then. The "B & E" in Liberty and the "8 & 2" in 1982 look split but where they are split, they also look like they've lost their coating. Has anyone ever run across this before and what is it?
I've seen it hundreds of times, never bothered questioning what causes it. All I know is that the coin is lower grade, and it's not an error, so they go back to the bank.
