Incomplete planchet vs clipped difference? The technical term is "incomplete planchet", a clipped planchet is the same thing. |

Because of the condition of the 2 clipped planchets I would pass.The MAD with a Grease Filled Die is no big deal either. All would be a "fun find" from circulation,but not worth buying them...IMHO. John1  Edited by John1

A coin can be a incomplete planchet if there are clipped areas on the coin. So the term for the coin is an incomplete planchet. While the areas you are looking at as missing metal, are called clipped areas. (even straight clips are called that even though the straight area is over the edge of the stock material.

What happened to them?
Did you clean them or did they come that way?

They came in a very bad condition, even worse then were in photos. Almost all details on 1946 were in green gunk, 1926 was almost all green. Didn't see any ways, but now they look bad too  Edited by flying_teapot

Oh man, you really shouldn't have cleaned them how you did, though...
I can see you used either the ketchup or coke method, and it ruined the value of the coins, no matter how clean they look now compared to how they were. The surfaces are now stripped and the surfaces dull and lifeless.
You should have used 100% pure acetone and a toothpick, and even if it has gunk still on it, it's better than having the surfaces stripped off of the coins. It's a beginner mistake, but don't clean any coins if you want to keep a nice/respectable collection. I cleaned many nice coins that I really wish I hadn't when I started out. Just use acetone, let it sit for a while, and it'll be fine! Both coins were in okay condition before...

Yes, it was a mistake. Next time I won't do it with copper coins.

The pink color is the give away for excessive cleaning. The cleaning removes a layer or more off the coins. The grade goes down 2 grades when they are cleaned. (if you can find someone willing to buy them) Most collectors won't by a problem coin.

To be honest, they looked better before you cleaned them. Never use anything but a soak in 100% acetone to clean a coin.

Seems like a rather inexpensive learning curve though  |
