Looks like the real deal. Incomplete planchet. Nice find.

I agree with the curved clips theory.

it was a find but not really.. I found it a flea market in a huge box of loose junk coins I looked through for about a hour the owner thought it was PMD because he only heard of curved clips. when I went to pay for it he pulled out a box of more clips including a 1851 US Large Cent. |

I would call those curved clips, not straight clips.

Two curved clips. The concave profile is visible on both.

Two straight clips can only occur on a coin in one instance- a blank punched from the corner of a metal stock sheet. That would result in two straight edges at a right angle with the sheet end edge usually rough or ragged.

It's not the Flea market in Mt Dora is it? Renegars or how ever you spell it? Also, I do plan on going to the Summer FUN show if I can. I really didn't want to post that in the section you asked me so I thought I'd add it to one of Your threads.  Edited by Dar

no its one of the ones in Belleview fl (market of marion) there are like 6 of them in a few mile radius. I go a hour or so each direction from central Florida to random ones some hit and alot more miss. I never been to Renninger's Farmers and Flea market in Mt Dora but it sounds like a nice weekend road trip.

It's a nice way to spend a day. Good people, nice area, good food. I haven't been able to go in 2 years but my wife and I would go there every weekend just to stroll about and talk to the vendors. I don't think it should have changed that much. Part of it is air conditioned too so you can escape the heat when needed. |

All clips curve to some degree because of the way the metal flows. The difference between a curved and straight clip is this. A straight clip is caused by the planchet being punched off the edge of the sheet. A curved clip is caused by the planchet being punched off the edge of the previous hole.

Nice find!  I suspect the clips were more curved before struck--and that metal flow has changed the curve?  |
