intocoins New Member Canada 35 Posts	Posted 01/10/2018 11:04 am I've been going through a shoe box collection for a friend and came across this cent. I'm wondering if it is an error clipped coin or an alteration post mint. I have no experience with these so would appreciate any help. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

(For those who don't know, that is the effect seen on 180 degrees opposite the clip. This happens during the rimming process when the coin is rolled. The pressure is weak opposite the clip and results in a weaker rim.) Report this Post to the Staff
