Title: Split 1966 5c
Post by: enworb on July 18, 2013, 10:46:39 AM
Ive just seen a split planchet 5c in a shop. It is the obverse half and is dated 1966. Grade is EF.

I have only a very rough idea what something like this is worth. What would be a fair price?

2.5c ........ sorry Enworb, just had to.

Sounds really cool, but no idea on the price really.
(Hope you get it ....... cheap!)

Thanks mark. I ended up grabbing it. Paid $30 so maybe a bit too much. It will still sit nicely in my folder though :)

Sounds like you're doing the coinshop crawl

We've all been there....and are likely to be back there again soon....

The cheap and cheerful world coins always get me....which leads to me having lots of doubles.

I've been getting half coins for $5 each. Now if there were both halves, that would be a whole 'nother kettle o'fish...

None. I'm grabbing all I can find, and eventually hope to find a matching pair. Besides, I don't really sell anything.

If we ever had a forum get together everyone could bring their halves and we could see if we could make some pairs!!

That's a great idea PPH.
Would be great if a match could be made.

I imagine it would end up a "Put The pieces of people back together " , NOT the coins event :diablo::laugh2:
