Description: * Fans of planchet errors take a natural delight in defects that interrupt the circular outline or perforate the body of a coin. Many different steps in the minting process can generate a notch, fissure, or hole. The process can start when the alloy is still molten. If not completely skimmed off, bits of slag can be incorporated into the ingot from which coin metal is rolled. If the slag falls out before or after the planchet is struck, it leaves a hole in the coin. The illustrated 1979 Lincoln cent has a large slag inclusion, half of which fell out after the coin was struck. As the coin metal is rolled out, tensile stresses can tear open the strip, leaving holes and fissures. This can occur if the strip is brittle due to the presence of contaminants or because it wasn’t heated to a high enough temperature prior to rolling. One outcome is a so-called blowhole, an example of which is shown here on a 1988-D Lincoln cent. The beveled edges are characteristic of such errors.* Copied with appreciation and thanks from "Coin World" This is a lovely rare circulated brown 1882 H Queen Victoria obverse #2 "Double-Chin" variety Large Canadian penny struck on a defective planchet resulting in numerous fissures and holes and a pierced coin.
