michael berryman New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 03/06/2021 3:45 pm I recently inherited a small coin collection from my grandfather when he passed away. I have some very nice coins but one is real interesting. it's a 1950 something penny. but the right half of the penny is missing. it has no scratch or cut marks or saw marks on it anyway. it was done in the minting process somehow. because the edges are smooth and flat and rounded just like the rest of the coin is. it was done intentionally by someone I don't think. can someone please tell me if it's worth anything. my grandfather had a lot of coin that are real valuable that I now have an I was wondering about this one in particular.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96581 Posts	Posted 03/06/2021 3:50 pm you need to stop holding your coins like that.. FINGERPRINTS! the natural enemy of coins. they become permanent after a time and devalue the coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 03/06/2021 3:55 pm @mb, yes holding your coins by their edges is a good idea. Any chance of your re-posting pics but with the details in focus? It is pretty tough to tell much without sharp detail. Thx.

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 03/06/2021 6:50 pm It could be a straight clip cent, but clear sharp pictures of the obverse and reverse is required. Sage advice not to hold your coin that way but only at the edge. Report this Post to the Staff
michael berryman New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 03/06/2021 8:03 pm yes let me get some better lighting and I'll upload more pics Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 03/06/2021 8:07 pm It may be a pincer type post Mint coin clip. Need much sharper focus pictures to tell for sure. There is no Blakesley Effect, which should be apparent for a blanking clip of this size. Report this Post to the Staff
michael berryman New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 03/06/2021 8:18 pm I took two more better pictures of it. that's the best lighting I could get on it. Report this Post to the Staff
