Whoa.... nice... a 'football clip' (elliptical planchet)... it also looks like the obverse was struck, then struck again on a planchet (did not eject?)...

Very cool, and I am already jealous! Thanks for sharing!

Very special. I think reading this might help as it fits in counter-brockage or brockage-counter-brackage class.
WOWSERS! And an elliptical planchet as SPP said.

Is this authenticated by a TPG? I'm curious to see what they labeled this error. It's a large clip, compared to most others.This is one of my favorite error types, and I've never even owned one!

SPP and Zonad
I'm still learning and am trying to understand the terms you guys use. It is still foreign talk to me... I need to learn about coin striking processes
to fully appreciate what I have. As well to help me in the future.

I am only giving my best guess and hope Mike Diamond or Mikey Mar or JFK will give their opinion. A counter-brockage gives a image in the proper way where a coin which has been struck by a brockage coin now becomes the die for your coin. I don't think it was Struck Through Grease or something, but that may be another option.

On a lot of these struck fragments , there is a counterbrockage . Think of this in how this fragment came to be . An unstruck planchet overlapping a partial brockage struck cent . The force of the next strike shears off the part that is overlapped and causes the fragment along with the counterbrockage .

So the collar shears off the portion of coin, but why is coinchicks coin not a reversed image?

The image isn't reversed because the previous partial brockage was caused by an off center . Here is an example - picture an unstruck planchet sitting partially on this one and you get the fragment shown .

I like that explanation - it also explains the "rounded effect" we see on the inside edge of Coin Chick's example....
