1982 P LC With Clipped Rim? Is It Real Or Just Post Mint Damage?

If an error, it's a rim clip and would show on both sides. It's difficult to tell on this one because very small clips don't produce an inverted crescent on the coin. The metal flows outward and fills in the gap during striking.

I'm skeptical about this coin because there appears to be no weakness in the strike of the nearby letters caused by a lack of struck material (clipped planchet).

The rim taper is inconsistent but, I don't have too much experience with very small rim clips. It's still up in the air for me.

My final conclusion is it is PMD. I'll throw it in my coinstar pile. :)

It has the correct tapering for a small rim clip. However, it is too small to display any die flow on the adjacent devices or the Blakesley Effect.

Looks like a baby clip from what I can see. So I feel it is an incomplete planchet.

So Coop, it's real? If so, I'm going to remove it from my spending pile.

I will. Thank you again Coop for your feedback. :)

I agree with Coop, a very small rim clip.
