Does a Planchet Clip Reduce the Value?

My opinion is NO. Which doesn't mean carl is wrong.

I have no opinion either way.

I'd agree. With the older coinage it may be considered a defect.

Thanks everyone for your opinions on the 1795.




I didn't buy it but did come across a nice 1794 and bought it instead. That's what happens when you have so many coins that need updating.

I'll start watching 1795 auctions again while I try to get some $ together.

I say that a clip on the Large Cents reduces value: they are common, so most collectors will go for a complete coin that shows as much detail as possible. Small clips are often seen as problems.

On another note, I saw a 1877 Indian head cent with a rim clip. Seller tried listing it for a huge premium because of this and I saw it on the market for over a year. Now, maybe the 3 people in the world building a complete set of Indian Cents with errors on them would want it, but seems like no one else bit.
