tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 3:46 pm I am calling this an elliptical clip, not an elliptical strike clip. Am I correct? There is reeding at both ends of the long axis and weight is 4.73g. 2002-D Mississippi State Quarter - elliptical clip Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74189 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 4:35 pm Awesome error coin! That type of Clip is very rare and not your average cup of tee. Prices are often very expensive for these error coins. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4402 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 4:55 pm Definitely an elliptical clip, but I've seen graded ones labeled as "struck on an elliptical planchet". Really cool coin! How'd you get it? Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 5:27 pm THanks David and Tanman. I bought another mid-sized lot of error coins today. Spent much money on what seems like few coins. This actually was somewhat of a toss-in at the end of the negotiations for an extra $50. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 11:01 pm I think it is just a struck out of collar coin. I don't see anything clipped off the planchet. Just distorted because it wasn't in the collar. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 11:33 pm Coop, Error coins aren't my sandbox but I find it hard to believe a coin that is 17% underweight and has reeding only on the ends of the long axis not to be some kind of elliptical clip.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74189 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 11:36 pm I agree that it's a Elliptical Clip. You said it's underweight, so that confirms it. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
