Shaw69 Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 01/12/2018 12:56 am One of my favorite error types are clipped planchet coins, and recently found a lot of 16 LMCs for about a dollar each so I added them to my collection. 14 are single clip, the 15th has a small second clip, and the 16th has 2 beautiful clips. It's the last one that got me looking harder, because it is a 1970s, and I really can't tell if it is the small date or not, based on some info I found online it could be either way. I really am working on trying to get better pictures. Report this Post to the Staff

Shaw69 Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 06:07 am While sorting all of those clips in with the ones I already have in my collection, I came across this one which made me laugh. This is still in the flip from when I bought it years ago, and yes I see they wrote down the wrong mint mark on the flip. So now I have a double clip and a triple clip from 1970, both s, and looks like both large date. If I find a single clip one I am going to put the three of them together in one of those flips that holds three penny sized coins. Just realized they did not spell "triple" correctly, I really need to get it into a new flip. Edited by Shaw69 01/13/2018 06:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

Otherwise, they can scratch the coin in an adjacent 2x2.
