Broken planchet Gold Dollar graded by PCGS

Then there is this eponymous one:

Allen wrote an article for Mint Error News on some of his CC Morgan Dollar mint errors, including his 1884 CC split after strike.

I think this is a case of the social media guy making a mistake. The coin clearly has wear, so saying it broke during striking doesn't really track. But if the planchet already had a crack when it was struck, it could have circulated a bit before it broke, in which case someone probably put it aside for novelty's sake.

If I had to guess, all broken planchet errors occurred after quality checking was done at the mint. In the case of a BU dollar, this likely happened in the bank bag during transport.

Do I get the hype? No. Is the double holder a cool conversation piece worth a grand or two? Maybe..

💯 agree, this coin needs t be resubmitted as a mint error, otherwise PCGS will simply details holder the coin.

I have seen cracked planchets in both P and N holders as mint errors, so it’s not an issue…

I Don't know the history of this one being submitted, but I've owned it for probably 10 years or so. It's straight graded not listed as a mint error and a great Cracked planchet example.
