Description
Unusual Split After Strike
1883 With Cents Nickel
1883 5C With Cents Nickel--Split After Strike--Good 4 ANACS.
This first-year Liberty nickel split in two pieces long after it
was struck, presumably due to gas trapped in the flan during
coinage strip production. The two pieces are each housed in a
separate Good 4 ANACS holder. The holders have consecutive serial
numbers and respectively refer to the coin fragment within the
holder as PC1 and PC2. The first fragment shows the entire obverse
and approximately 20% of the reverse, between 9 o'clock and 12:30.
The second, smaller fragment shows none of the obverse and about
80% of the reverse, between 12:30 and 9 o'clock. The coin surface
is slate-gray, and the area where the split occurred is rough and
striated. The portrait displays faint hairlines.
