It might separate if they or I did crack it out??? 
Besides, why would I want a + grade on this one?

No offense, I know this coin is made of plastic and all, but it is... CRACKED IN HALF. What in the world would the next grade DOWN be???

In a way, isn't this cool as possible evidence as to why the US Mint made the decision not to use plastic in 1943?
<< <i>In all fairness to both PCGS and CAC, the proposed plastic planchet could not hold up to the higher speed US Mint machines hence its rejection as a substitute to the copper cent for 1943.

As part of the testing of new coin materials, mint technicians probably tested these patterns for strength and durability and one of these tests probably involved bending the pattern to see how strong the material was and how hard it would be to break the coin.
