<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yarm, post: 193747, member: 5795&quot;]Roughly 40 years ago my dad and I came across two coins from 1934 in the change drawer at our dry cleaners that just didn&#039;t seem right. The cent had the look of a well worn silver dime. The quarter didn&#039;t look unusual but it didn&#039;t &quot;ring&quot; the way other quarters did-it clattered like a heavy button or modern casino chip. The cent went to ANACS years ago and came back &quot;cent on dime planchet.&quot; We lost track of the quarter until recently. I sent it off to ANACS and got an email a few days ago with the verdict-1934 quarter; VF 20 details-cleaned. Pooh, I must be tone deaf! Not only that, I had to be one of the few people in the world with a slabbed VF cleaned 1934 quarter!!:goofer:&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Turns out the slab has the notation &quot;&quot;Clamshell&quot; split plan&quot;&nbsp; perhaps explaining the odd sound the coin made. I hadn&#039;t noticed any split but then again I wasn&#039;t looking for one. Is anyone familiar with this designation?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n89/rwyarmch/Message%20board%20references%202/1934quarter000042.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
