 5¢. 1920. Struck on split planchet - Uniface. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Here is an obverse-only strike on a split planchet that was on top of another planchet (or perhaps the other half of the whole planchet from which this split) during the striking process, causing the design details to be quite fully defined. The roughness on the blank side expected of a split planchet was mostly smoothed out by being struck on top of another planchet. Lustrous, with light golden-gray toning. PCGS MS64.
