Cindy Wood Valued Member United States 105 Posts	Posted 05/30/2014 3:31 pm This lovely civil war coin I got in a roll of cents. It has 2 notches on the side. I am not familiar with these coins. Is this normal, error or PMD? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 05/30/2014 4:07 pm Hi, Cindy... and to the CCF! What you are seeing is called a clipped planchet, and is NOT considered PMD. When the individual planchet was punched, the punch happened too close to where other planchets had already been stamped out, causing the curved edges. This is quite common for Civil War tokens. As a matter of fact, I have the same exact token, and it also has two clips out of it. I think it makes it much more interesting than a whole planchet token.

I've been looking to add that type to my CWT collection for a while, but haven't found a suitable one yet. Yours appears to be struck better than most. The line under the snake is never fully struck.

The idea that any Civil War token, let alone one this nice, could be found in a penny roll, amazes me! Bill Edited by BillSnyder 05/31/2014 01:52 am Report this Post to the Staff
