golfer70 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 04/15/2008 9:48 pm I have a 1916 Barber dime that I think has a chipped planchet but there is a weird bend in the spot where I think it is chipped. Could you help me and tell me if it is a chipped planchet or somehting else just hit it, bend it, and chipped it All opinions welcome!! Sorry I can't get any photos on the post, the dime is too small for my camera and looking from the top, it looks like a normal Barber dime.!! Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/16/2008 1:55 pm Two things... 1. It's "clipped" planchet...not "chipped" planchet. 2. If your coin looks normal from the obverse or reverse, it's not clipped. It's probably a hit or other damage. That plus there's no way anyone can really help you without an image. We're stabbing in the dark, literally. This hobby is very visually driven. General questions about coins without photos are fine, but a question about a specific coin requires photos for any meaningful help. Report this Post to the Staff
