LostDutchman Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Split Planchets – This error type involves a defective planchet. During or after striking, half of the coin falls away, leaving 2 thinner half planchets that have only 1 side with design. This is similar to a lamination but the entire struck surface of the coin laminates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Be careful with these errors. Look for tool marks around the edge as this is a sign that the coin was "helped" to split Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
