Looks like 1971S was a good year!

Definitely genuine! Very nice find!
I have a BU triple rim clip 1969 cent found in a roll...but the clips are a lot smaller than those.

As relatively scarce, a triple clip.

What always gets me about those is that I can't understand how something like that can happen. A single clip sure, and a double clip I can see, but from what I know about how the gang punches punch the banks from the strip I can't see how you could get a punch to overlap three already punched holes and sill have that much planchet. (I can get it to overlap three holes, but to do so what you get looks like a Y. A piece of sisal scrap.)

Conder, go to my Ask About Coins page. Go to my November newsletter. I have an article written where I used strips of cheese to show you exactly how it happens:-) Scroll down the newsletter to the one called....No comments folks.....It's called, OK, Who Cut The Cheese?
Anyway it's designed to make the incomplete planchet understandable. I did up to a double clip. I didn't do a triple clip. but you can visualize where a cut would need to be to create a triple clip.
There should be a link to the page in my Signature at the bottom of this post.
Have Fun,
Bill

OK, I've checked the newsletter (Had to wait until I could get to my wireless connection. Your newsletter is not dial-up friendly. :) ) Sorry won't wash. Your layout of the holes punched in the strip is wrong. They don't do it that way because it wastes material. You get more blanks out of a given length of strip if the rows are offset which allows them to be tucked in closer. Like this.  But now that I see this I can see how it can happen. I always visualized the punch placements as if the strip was moving through the blanking press from top to bottom of the image. Each row of punches right next to each other and the next row offset a radius, but the punches still right next to each other. (Think two rows of punches. they punch the top two rows, the strip advances and it punches rows three and four, then five and six, etc.) If the strip moved in that direction a triple clip with a large amount of planchet left would be impossible. But with the strip moving left to right and there being a lot of space between the punches you get the same closest packing arangement but now a triple clip IS possible. (Two of them should always be small and close to 180 degrees apart.) Thanks for forcing me to go find an image of the webbing so I could figure that out. For some reason I thought it would have a symmetry and it wouldn't matter which direction the strip was traveling. Now how do you get a quad clip with a large planchet remaining? I think I have seen a couple of those before. :) |

What I have is just general. I wasn't trying to mimic the strips exactly. It would have required larger pieces of cheese:-)
