SwmpOwl011 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 08/03/2020 11:02 pm I found this nickel looking through an uncirculated bank roll. It looks like a type of irregular cut planchet. Does that seem to be the case for this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 08/03/2020 11:20 pm Agreed, clipped planchet, worth throwing in a 2x2 and hanging on to. Report this Post to the Staff
Jake the Dog Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 08/03/2020 11:30 pm Not a bad find! Nice smaller but respectable clip. Definitely worth putting in a 2x2. You may see some weakness on the exact opposite side of the clip - hence USSID18s request for pics of those areas. Kinda hard to explain, but it has to do with the planchet preparation before being struck. Report this Post to the Staff
