Here are a couple of halves I found in circulation. I believe they are planchet errors and not something caused after being introduced into circulation. I would appreciate comments and thoughts. 1974 coin. I believe this is a planchet error because the details on the reverse side are imprinted within the hole. I really have no idea what could have caused this damage. I'm including links to larger pics if needed. Obverse Reverse 1973 coin Again, I just can't imagine what could cause this kind of damage if it's not a planchet error. Obverse Reverse
A hammer and a chisel. These are ruined coins worked over by a person who's day was not going well. Ben Peters
