    Reminds me of what is probably the only 1828 half dime in existence.

    So, can you read the year on the half-nickel?

    Are you sure it's PMD? It may have happened in the ejection process at the Mint. Half the coin was ejected and then cut in half when the next coin came along. lol

    Oh no, why did it have to be a large date 1828 dime? Though I will commend whoever cut it because that is a remarkably straight cut when you consider what kind of tools were available in the early 1800s.

    Looks like the coin was masked in half to take the photo.

    I'm pretty certain it's either a 1922, 1932, or 1933. ;) :banghead: :confused:

    Not sure of the date on the buffalo, but old hoopster is probably correct, 1922, 32 or 33. Do you think I could sell it on ebay and retire?

    It's obvious that this is a prank. A nice one except that the cut off portion just left of 1828 on the obverse is not cut off on the reverse view.

    Anything else wrong with the photos of the 1828? Other than the clip I can see at least one other.
