Hard to price as to the low grade. Whatever YOU are willing to pay I guess. Less than $100.
FWIW, I have paid $30- $40 for raw split planchet Buffalos in grades VG-F. Having both halves to same coin, (which I don't,) would increase value significantly.
Maybe biased-since it's my coin-but in 2010 I saw a 1900 Split Planchet Nickel graded Fair 2 by ANACS sell for about $300.
It might just be me but I think it is in poor taste to take a coin that is currently listed in the B/S/T forum and ask the entire forum their opinion of the value.
These are fairly common on all nickel series,
and I would also say less than $100, especially
in that low grade.
SevieBreaux - was that a SALE at $300, or a listing at that price?
I've never seen or heard of any well-circ., one-sided split planchet
Liberty, Buffalo, or Jefferson nickel selling anywhere near half
that price. If a sale, it might have been a "Unicorn" .
It was sold, haven't seen too many Liberty Nickel with this error, so it may have been just been a unicorn. It was in New Orleans.. too much drinking might have been involved for the buyer!
I had permission to post it...thanks for your concern.
Thanks for posting it. A first for me. Peace Roy

@coinlover22 : probably 50 bucks to 100 bucks, a mated pair in that condition is what would be a lot more. It's more of having both halves than it is to have them in higher grades (though a top grade sample would bring a bit more, not a lot more, except of course for keys).
The mints still had metal mixing issues on nickels for another 60+ years. With its high level of alloy issues, it's a bit above an extreme delamination in price IMO. It would be a lot different if it was a quarter.
I have half of a 1905 that was in an ANACS holder, now PCGS. I would love to find the other half (by the label it seems they graded both halfs.)
Cool !!!
Even if it isn't worth a ton of money I like it! Makes you wonder if the other half is still out there somewhere
HAPPY COLLECTING
Speaking for myself... I wouldn't be interested in that coin.
Although I am not an error collector, I would certainly keep a coin such as that if I were to find it in change...not likely though. I find the reverse interesting, it almost looks as if instead of an alloy, it was two compressed sheets of material.... I know that was not the process, just commenting on the appearance.
