    Picked this up today for $10. Looks struck on broken planchet to me but not sure. Any ideas? 20160814_144052.jpg 20160814_143948.jpg 20160814_143936.jpg

    I think I can count the number of cracked planchets I've seen on one hand. Nice find!

    Cool find. . . . I once had a Peace Dollar with a crack about 1/2" long, but that's all I've had. I know another collector who has a 3cs broken into 2 separate pieces and, importantly, it exhibits no evidence of help.
