tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 10/11/2018 12:03 pm Nice clipped planchet. It would be my understanding that the opposing dents in the middle of the clip and opposite rim would be from a foreign object chain strike. But I am open to other explanations of course. 1985 Washington quarter Clipped Planchet 8% Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe wrong, but thinking the raised dents or material on reverse occurred after strike. Maybe jammed up a vending machine at some time. Don't see chain strikes very often. http://www.error-ref.com/chain-strikes/ Quote: Chain strikes are sometimes mistaken for straight and curved clips. Several diagnostics serve to distinguish the two errors: 1.A chain strike shows a distinct contact facet while a clip doesn't. 2.Design elements bordering a chain strike show no metal flow. Design elements bordering a clip will show metal flow. 3.A coin with a chain strike will weigh the same as a normal coin. A coin with a clip will be underweight. Thanks, Doug.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 10/11/2018 3:17 pm I was guessing on the chain strike based on Mike Diamond's comments on my double struck Oregon quarter. You can read his comment in that thread and see if I am way off or on track. http://goccf.com/t/313753&SearchTerms=2005,oregon Report this Post to the Staff
