decadeofchange Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 08/18/2018 8:16 pm I was thrilled to find this 1936 S Wheat penny in the wild. When I first saw the clip, I thought most likely someone took wire cutters to it. But then as I look at it more and more, seems odd that the metal protrusions stick out above the rim. I'm not sure anymore. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

The squeezing force has extruded a small amount of copper beyond the edge of the coin. Too bad, because otherwise it is in pretty nice shape. Added: the frog brings up a really good point: the word "clip" has a specific numismatic meaning--based on the title, I was kinda expecting to see a partial planchet.

decadeofchange Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 08/18/2018 8:39 pm Thanks all. Sorry I don't know all the numismatic vocabulary. I have a lot of coins, but I'm new to assessing them. Report this Post to the Staff

Most of the common words with meaning are listed there. Edited by JimmyD 08/18/2018 8:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
