Interesting coin. I don't believe I've seen one of these either.

I was going to make a comment about its authenticity, but then I saw it's certified :o

I feel like someone who collects errors might pay quite a bit for that.

I find it strange that, where the break occured, the edge is rounded off by wear. I would suspect that such a coin in this condition, would not circulate, and thus would not wear at the break. Davec13, what do you see on the edge of the break? I may be incorrect in my assessment. Quote:

I thought the same thing about the wear. However if you look at the reverse the split is fairly straight, on the obverse it's pretty "bumpy" looking. It's kind of hard to see the actual edge being in the slab though. I am tempted to break it out and look at the edge under magnification.

This remind me of the split Morgan dollar I seen elsewhere. It did be hard to dissect coins for change, like they used to dissect stamps for mail. My 2 cents plus half. LOL! |
