Description
This 1944 Jefferson Nickel was struck on a split planchet that separated before the reverse design could be impressed. The obverse displays a complete strike with clear legends and devices, while the reverse remains entirely blank—an unmistakable one-sided strike. Certified AU 55 by NGC, the piece retains light circulation wear and original wartime alloy toning, making it a noteworthy addition to mint-error type sets focused on major planchet anomalies.
