Half error or not? Solved: It's a ragged clipped planchet
I just found this one minutes ago. I think I have read about this type of error but I can't remember what it is called.
The coin is missing a portion of the edge and if you look closely you can see cracks radiating from the break. The half also sounds like a magicians coin when dropped lightly. No silver "ring" sound just kind of that dull "thud". I think the sound is a result of the cracks/defects in the planchet.
Also, if you look 180 degrees opposite the break there appears to be a Blakesley effect, similar to what a clipped planchet would have.
What do you all think.........error or not?
