Split Planchet Shield Nickel

A very nice split planchet on an older Nickel. From the reverse we can identify this as a Variety 2 and date it from 1867-1883.

This is the obverse so no date. Typical of a split planchet.

And here's the reverse.

Here's a side view. You can see that the obverse is missing as it's thin and rough. Wish I had the other half like I go on my War Nickel.

Nice example.. It Split after it was struck.
Thanks for sharing.

Here is one example from my collection on a Lincoln Cent

 

So is it only worth $.025 cent? Nice coin is that number three that you have now?

 

You gotta love errors like these.

 

Thanks Mike but you know it's worth more than half of five cents. Lol
