Nickel Guy Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 04/27/2015 05:54 am This is what is called PMD (post mint damage). Because it was damaged after it left the mint, it's not an error. So, unfortunately, it doesn't have any value over $0.05. Report this Post to the Staff
ManzaLisa New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 04/27/2015 07:36 am Hi Nickel Guy, thank you for your reply. I thought that as well however, it's also clipped and the way the letters are formed on the coin make it look like the error was not done after the mint. I'll try for better photos if it'll help...

If it were a genuine clipped planchet, the lettering would fall off the edge, not follow around it.

tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 04/27/2015 7:07 pm Yeah the rim is still there a clip would not have a rim because that metal would be missing. All the metal is there on this coin if you weigh it , it will show its a full coin. I don't know how but someone beat this poor coin centsless. Pun intended Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 04/27/2015 7:08 pm Sorry, but that poor coin got damaged. It looks like somebody took a hammer to it. Keep hunting. Errors are out there waiting to be found! Report this Post to the Staff
