1919 D Lincoln Wheat Cent Mint Error - Ragged Clip

With this level of circulation wear, I'm not 100% sure that I agree with it being a tagged clip looking at the obv. With that said, the lightness of the strike on the rev seems to confirm that you are right.

Hi bats, you are finding all kinds of errors great. But I have to ask is there a way you could put ALL these errors under one heading without comments (or it would get too long) that way we can look one up without a big search. Thanks

Very nice!

Looks like an attached lamination on a straight clip coin.

Great find. I agree with mcshilling. You need to take some time to make an errors website. That save some of these for the rest of us.
Another saved from the wheat bag.

Thanks for all the kind words! Dearborn, the clip didn't "occur" as this is an end of roll type of clip, where the die punched over the edge leaving a straight clip. These are often ragged, in that the edge of the metal is kind of unconsolidated for lack of a better description. So when it gets struck, it can separate in all kinds of funky-looking ways, some of which are very much lamination like and others just lumpy bits or fissures or well lots of ways. What that area actually looked like before the strike I do not know, but after the strike it did some splits.

Mcshilling and sheldius, I hear you. I have thought a lot about a website, as well as possibly doing a youtube series by year showing what to look for on each year For Lincolns. I'm sure either would be valuable resources. But time always gets in the way. I prefer not to do things halfway, and just can't see ever finishing either of those projects. But you are right, there probably isn't a place where you can just surf in and look at a couple dozen laminations, or whatnot, to learn from. And even though it gets harder every year to carry the bat gear out in the field, I'm not ready to retire yet so could be a few years down the road before that would start to come together.

Yes, I know that's what you were thinking, but... Plus side is that would allow for comments on the topic which may be helpful. Downside is any time someone does something sort of like that it instantly becomes where everyone who wants to know if they have one posts coins that are PMD and discussion goes way off topic fast. It's more something Coop's home threads would be good at. I still think a website is the right format for this. Once set up you just drop in more images as you make them.

Honestly I live right next to Penn State. I should go and talk to the computer web design department and see if they would do a coop with students learning to design a real website using my material. They get a good grade and we end up with a website.
