I'm hoping this will turn out to bee one of those amazing rare valuable finds lol. When they pulled the penny from circulation I went to the bank and bought $5000.00 worth and I've been sorting them out and selling them by the roll on ebay. Today I pulled out another box and started looking, and found this little gem. I've gotten a blank planchette before, and I've gotten quite a few clipped planchettes....but never a combination of both. I did a search on ebay.ca and .com, as well as a google search and came up empty. Could I possibly have the first clipped blank planchette? Whats everyones thoughts?   |

Can you post some pictures of it from the side? I'm not so sure it's a clip.

Whatever the cause it happened after the rimming process.Not a clip. It was struck with that much offset IMO.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

ya it is not a clip, it could be but it doesn't look like one! interesting, it could be a partial clip. You could ask 5000 but it is only worth what someone is going to pa for it. very interesting though!

Not a clip----Clips are part of the planchet making process. That being said, I think your error is very rare indeed-----how did the other coin manage to get into the stamping process and interfere with your planchet ?

This is a "striking clip" on a blank. The error is made in the coining press when two blanks are struck at the same time. It's pretty hard to find.
I think there is a listing for this kind of error in Herbert's error coin manual.

Thanks for the info so far.....any idea on what it would be worth? I don't have any plans on selling it just yet, but I sure am curious :)

If I was an error collector I would think $100.00 bucks would seem right.

Here is a similar coin in my collection.  I don't know what the value would be today. I paid $31 in the year 2003. |
