Looks like john wilkes booth got to that one

 

I don't know but it looks legit! Nice pick-up!

 

It's interesting to me that these dramatic coins have seen circulation.

 

Nice! Pleased you got it. I decided not to bid. Good thing... you would have beat me anyway!

I think fissure

 

Cool coin!

 

I think it's a fissure, too!

Fissure. Sure sure

 

Love that Blakesley ❤️

 

1/16 of a quarter pounder.... I was hungry. Chomp! cool looking what ever it is ???

 

I know it's a fissure.. Which would be a defective planchet not a ragged clip.

 

Nice error coin!

 

I'd say that's a pretty strong match for a ragged fissure.

Do you plan on submitting it?

 

Nah. I know what it is. If i needed it conserved I would.

 

To me, it's a excellent example of a
ragged end clip.

Yes, the blank is defective, but it's the
result of it being punched out from the
ragged end (or beginning) of the copper
strip.

 

Can I ask how or where you acquired it?

 

I think it was an ebay listing

 

Learned something new as always. Never heard of a "fissure" except when my dog years ago had an anal one. Sweet coin!!!
