Very nice double clip,incomplete planchet. The mint improved it's QC in 2000,so any error after 2000 that makes its way into circulation is rare. I think your find is a bit more than just rare. If I found it I would give it a quick dip in 100% pure acetone and put it in an Air-Tite capsule. John1
Thanks all. I was surprised to find it. I probably have a roll of the old copper cents with clips but not any from recent years. I have already put it in my folder of error coins. still Lookin
Is the outside edge of the coin normal at 11:00 on the obverse area? If it is normal, it is a double clip, but if the edge is indented, then it maybe a triple clip. The alignment for a triple clip would be in that area: So lets see the edge on that area...
When I look at the edge at the 11:00 position it is completely normal, smooth and shiny. There is only very little roughness at the small clip at the 2:00 position. Still Lookin
