Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 9:20 pm I think the planchet was clipped before the penny was minted. I have a Civil War token w/ a double-clipped planchet, too... Nice find! Edited by Dave H 01/30/2013 9:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

darryldarryl Pillar of the Community Canada 2428 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 9:33 pm My honest opinion is that its not a genuine double clip. Again, this is just my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
inventor719 Valued Member Canada 189 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 10:01 pm In my opinion, I think it was cut cut to the not perfectly round clips. If you look closely, you can almost see the metal flaring out at the cuts which would be the result from a saw. Now, I am not a professional coin identifier but, this is just my best guess. Still.....nice find. Report this Post to the Staff

ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 11:40 pm There's metal flow at both clips on the obverse and reverse in addition to the punch and tear effect on the edge. I have no doubt that it's genuine. It is a bit confusing, though, since there is no blakesely effect. Report this Post to the Staff
steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 3:44 pm I like to put pennies inside the clipped part to make sure they fit perfectly. I've never heard of a double clip, but it looks genuine to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Bm0ney Pillar of the Community Canada 1005 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 7:58 pm I believe it is genuine. Clipped before striking. I sold one quite a while ago double clipped like yours for around $5-$7 on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
