1972 Error

So is this correct---this coin moved into the die with another 1/2 coin still in it? then was struck..so would this be a die cap? or brockage?

Never ran across one..

The correct terminology would be an "in-collar uniface strike against a split planchet".

 

Thanks Mike

 

Very interesting. Not something I would have guessed as I had never heard of it - LOL. Always something new to learn with error coins.

BTW nice find!

 

They're not particularly rare. They are much more common than conventional in-collar uniface strikes (two normal planchets struck within the same collar).

 

It actually looks like a finned rim coin.

It does have a finned rim as well. This is a side-effect of the increased effective striking pressure generated by the abnormally great aggregate thickness of the two planchets.

 

Thank Mike I learned new term & type error.42yr and still learning:thumb:

Struck through split planchet

I agree with Mike's diagnosis. I like this error type personally. In case you're wondering, I would say the coin is worth $40-$70.
