That's an interesting coin. I wonder how clean the breaks were when people used them back in the day.
Would you happen to have a link to where you got this from?

Good question... I would imagine the cuts weren't nearly as clean back in the day!
I'm picturing people arguing over pieces that looked or felt a little light.
I think balance scales were pretty common back then, but I'm sure you're right and fights were probably common over that kind of thing!
