Post the innards of a coin. The fourth side, if you will.

Split planchets. Missing clad layers. Laminations. Good quality strike thru's.
This thread is not for the timid.

Here's a few I have.
The images of the 70-d quarter are amazing. Did you use focus stacking?
What’s the nature of the error?
I'm getting a little queasy.
I guess technically, the innards could be the 4th and 5th sides of the coin as both sides can have innards!

A group shot of the best split planchets and laminations from my Buffalo nickel oddities collection. Want to point out that the splits are not matched pairs, just displayed that way.
These lamination errors and defective planchets are wickedly cool!

It is interesting that the design elements continue deep into the planchet.


This can be seen in a deep lamination error. The design is not only "imprinted" on the surface.
These pictures are amazing thank you for sharing JL.
very cool coins!

This is the physical manifestation of sic semper tyrannis!
This coin should be displayed at Ford's Theater!
