Again, I am stumped, and am relying on my fellow forum members, for help on one of my recent finds. This time it`s a 2006 nickel, that has what appears to be a "incomplete clip'! But, then I thought some one could have put two coins together, and hammered it! Now, if I could get a experts opinion,that would be much appreciated! Heres some pics!

Study the rims, and nature of the marks, on these incomplete clips. Also, you will see the effects of an incomplete clip on both sides of the coin.

Here is one, a clip and an incomplete clip on the same planchet. Note how the upset mill (rimming phase) of the planchet, closes the incomplete clip and sharpens up the curvature near the rim.

Yes, I see that now, not evident on the 2006 nickel I posted.which protrudes outwards, at that point! So After the punching out of the planchet, the ridge made by the "rimming phase",closes, or tightens up the area! now I can idenify a partial clip!! Thanks

Of course, bronze metal behaves differently from silver, or pure nickel. This one is coming back from PCGS, you can click on the photo for a higher resolution image.

Absolutely, different alloys react under pressure in different ways!. It`s also interesting to note the more extended incusing on the obverse,into the rim, than the reverse, which displays a "cut", to a lesser extant, and falls short of the rim! My guess would be that`s because of the "strike down" of the "obverse die", as opposed to the stationary reverse, bottom die! See how the rim of the obvere is cut", and the reverse rim is not! But that`s just a brief observation, and my own opinion, I could be totally wrong!LOL

Nope - it is the other way around, the obverse is the anvil die and the reverse is the hammer die...
