Split planchet or damaged? Wheat cent

[TreyMccord]

I have compared this wheat cent to acid dipped cents and the comparisons are way different! All the acid dipped coins are pitted, this is more of a uniform and not pitted! I've compared this coin to a 1930 I have and it looks very simular! The width is the same as a regular cent, but the thickness is thinner! The weight is around 2.3 grams! Can someone really look at my cent and tell me your opinions! Thank you

This wasn't done at the mint. There's no telling what corroded this coin or how it corroded. It's still PMD, environment damage.

I agree, this coin looks like it may have had a lamination issue prior to or after it was struck. The environmental conditions it was exposed to may have caused some of those laminations to peel away, leaving an underweight coin.

The coin appears to have had a good solid strike on the obverse and reverse. Over time, circulation and exposure, those features have worn away.

Circulated coins are subjected to post mint damage (PMD). If these coins could tell us their travels to help us understand what they have been exposed to, it sure would help.

IF this was a lamination type error coin, it is in such bad shape that it would not fetch any premium.
