Figured that'd keep me busy awhile & & I came across this 1973 and it looks like a slightly clipped planchet to me. I've Never found one before, so I'm really not sure. Any thoughts?

Also need full closeups of the whole coin, obverse and reverse. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
toryturpen New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 06/23/2019 12:51 am I appreciate the effort. I'll see if I can find the time this week to try to get all the good photos down to acceptable file size. Took me about fifteen or twenty minutes to post the one with my phone Report this Post to the Staff

Your pic seems to show a clipped planchet, including tapered rims. The area we need to see is the rim directly opposite the "clip." We are looking for the Blakesley Effect that is associated with incomplete planchets.
