Victoria 1842 Farthing - Split Planchet Error With Brockage

Offered is a spectacular 1842 Farthing mint error, being a split planchet displaying minor brockage, KM#725var. This fascinating piece came to be when anomalies (in this case it appears from the bubbles that a gas seam was to blame) in the flan resulted in the entire obverse of this coin laminating, resulting in this wafer-thin curiosity. The grade of this substantial error is superb, with little to no wear noted, and a fair amount of mint bloom remaining. The first that we have handled like this, and a lovely one at that.
