sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 7:09 pm Really ragged clips, I suspect, are not necessarily clips. Perhaps they are the result of gross impurities in the strip (oil?) that cause a blank or planchet to fall apart before being fed into the coining press. I have seen some very ragged edged coins of highly irreguar random shape, and I have often wondered about how they were formed. All of the coins of this type of error that I have seen have come from The Royal Mint in Llanstrisant. Report this Post to the Staff
