CrazyCat Pillar of the Community United States 556 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 11:15 pm Found this coin while roll hunting and while I'm fairly positive it's a clipped planchet, I just wanted someone more experienced with error coins than me to take a look at it to confirm. Clip is near the top of Jefferson's head. Report this Post to the Staff

seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 01/26/2013 04:39 am I do not think it is a clipped planchet, as I do not see either the Blakesley effect, or tapering of the design. Report this Post to the Staff

This is why I said "I do not see either the Blakesley effect, or tapering of the design" A true clipped planchet would have a tapering of the design. This one the design just stops. Which means the clip was done AFTER the coin was minted. Edited by seal006 01/26/2013 08:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 1:45 pm With both pictures available, I would say that it is a genuine clip. I can't really put into words as to what I'm seeing as I'm not a very good wordsmith, but I can say that it looks right to me, (though, I could still be wrong). Could you post a pic of the edge? I think this will give a definite answer. There should be a line that separates two different metal textures. Report this Post to the Staff
