<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 589354, member: 12965&quot;]An interesting thing about split planchets is if you &quot;roll&quot; them on your desktop, the ring doesn&#039;t sound right. I have a 1785 M3.5-B Connecticut that has a split planchet:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/6972/001y.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/6696/002kon.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/6062/003g.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When it came in, I rolled it to check for proper ring and when it was very dull sounding, I started looking at the edge and that&#039;s when I noticed the split planchet. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Planchet flaws are common on the colonial coppers but I&#039;ve never seen a small cent with a split planchet.&nbsp; :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
