Description
1971-D Lincoln Cent
Struck on a Split Planchet
Split Before Strike
1971-D 1C Lincoln Cent -- Struck on a Split Planchet, Split
Before Strike -- NGC. 1.6 grams. A typical 1971-D cent weighs
3.1 grams. A cent planchet split in two, along the horizontal axis,
prior to the strike. At least one of the split planchet halves was
struck by 1971-D cent dies. Because the planchet was thin, it
failed to completely fill the dies, causing a soft strike on the
central devices and a portrait "ghost" on the reverse. The internal
planchet texture is evident on the obverse highpoints. The coin has
the appearance of an off-center strike toward 2:30, but the design
is complete, indicating it is instead an uncentered broadstrike,
with an arc of unstruck surface centered at 9:30. NGC has not
offered a grade, but the coin is Mint State. One cause for a split
planchet could be a layer of trapped gas within the planchet
strip.From The Denny Polly Error Collection.
