mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 10/27/2008 9:38 pm Coin was found in a bank roll. Is this a clipped planchet, or post mint damage. It seems to have the same curve as another cent. Also, it's dented on opposite side. Any comments? http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/...half-2-4.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/...half-4-5.jpg Thank You, Mike Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 10/27/2008 10:01 pm Hi, Yep, It's the real thing. It also has slight evidence of what is loosely called a "second clip" over TRUST. It is really a coin struck on an incomplete planchet. Calling them "clipped planchets" might cause some to think that this happens during the striking process. This actually is the result of the coinage strip having blanks punched out of the strip while overlapping a portion where blanks had already been punched out. Have Fun, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

Update: second clip--makes sense! It would be interesting to see the full reverse too. Edited by KurtS 10/27/2008 10:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 10/27/2008 11:58 pm The reverse is interesting because I think I see how the devices interacted with the clipped edge--versus a post-mint "garage job". Report this Post to the Staff
