CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 9:58 pm Curious to know if this is considered a clipped planchet [however minor]. Thank you Edited by CentSation 03/18/2021 9:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 10:11 pm Looks like a real clip to me too. Even some weakness below Lincoln on the bottom of coin. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 10:27 pm Small, but still a nice clip! Too bad about the marks on the obverse and fingerprint on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97379 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 10:56 pm Question - Why can't I se the clip from the reverse side? The rim looks normal all the way 'round. Can you please post up another picture with the coin turned with the 'clip' facing the camera/phone? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/19/2021 09:38 am Looks more like damage to me. A clip would be a vertical cut. I'm not seeing that on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/19/2021 2:05 pm How could this coin be cut, only affecting on side of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 03/19/2021 11:23 pm It would be good to see a pic of the edge at the anomaly. Not all incomplete planchets are standard clips. There looks to be the appearance of some Blakesley effect on the obverse and weakness of the rim on the reverse The angle of the coin in the first photo may just be showing the curve of a weakly struck rim while the angle that was used for the reverse photo the coin would hide a weakly struck rim.

CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 03/19/2021 11:49 pm Thanks for all the replies, [esp. Coop, who is always educating, thank you]. An interesting development... This was a coin I purchased off ebay, and I don't have possession of as of yet. Long story short, I just revisited the ad and it appears the reverse pic is now different! Not sure how this could happen. After the comments, I also started questioning how this could happen [thanks for being skeptical Dearborn]. I now see a different reverse pic which I have included. This new reverse pic does show damage in the correct place. Previously, I was concentrating on the actual damage and the 'Blakesly-like' effect adjacent to it. Hopefully this new pic clears up the issues. Again, not sure how/why this happened - There is no way I could have saved a different reverse pic. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/20/2021 01:58 am That coin image removes question now. It is a clip. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97379 Posts	Posted 03/20/2021 09:32 am Ok, Now that I see the new image which shows the reverse damage(clip) I'm convinced. I'm glad I posted my skepticism allowing you to investigate further and get a final answer. I hope that when you get the coin, you will post it here for us. Collecting since 1972.
