Zimmy Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 01/06/2017 10:23 pm An incomplete clip or punch represents an area of the coin metal strip where the blanking die (punch) failed to penetrate completely. When the strip was then advanced, the blanking die then fully punched out a blank with evidence of the partially punched arcing indent evident inside the blank. The blank was then ultimately struck by cent dies. Report this Post to the Staff

Zimmy Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 01/10/2017 8:59 pm I don't think that there are very many or at least no one wants to sell them. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 01/11/2017 10:09 am They are uncommon, but I have seen them in almost every denomination, and 1-cent strikes from the early 1960s seem to be the most abundant (relatively speaking).
