Title: Decimals Struck on Partially Split Planchets
Post by: markn on March 04, 2013, 07:04:49 PM
A couple of AlBr coins struck on partially split planchets.  These are the only couple of error decimal coins of this type that we are aware of.  We do know of a couple of decimals struck on fully split planchets though.

So some of the planchet split off before the coin was struck, or it was a thinned incomplete planchet before the strike.
