Well it has arrived and it IS a broken planchet not cut. The break does appear to be old but I'm still checking it over. It also appears that the coin was orignally cracked most of the way acoss and someone helped finish the break.
Interesting. So you think the planchet was cracked as it was released into circulation, but still together....and then after a few years of circulating, the crack broke the entire coin in half? I can't imagine it ever circulated as half a coin(who would accept it?).
