One Red Cent Valued Member United States 169 Posts	Posted 07/14/2007 6:51 pm Does it look like the picture Fred posted, or is yours a round coin that has had a crescent shape cut out of it? I think it's possible for a planchet to get hit again by the cutting machine thereby leaving a blank planchet with the crescent cut out of it. That "clipped planchet" can then go through the minting process. Report this Post to the Staff
