TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 05/11/2021 08:34 am Is there anyway this is the beginning of a clip? I noticed the clip seems to penetrate the coin but excludes the rims and under the lettering. Your thoughts are appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

I am thinking it is a strike through wire error, likely a bronze wire, where it would be still retained in the letter of the legend. Hard to tell with these photos. For reference, this is what an incomplete punched planchet would look like: "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 05/13/2021 4:49 pm If struck through a bronze metal shaving or wire, it could be retained in the legend letters. I see that often with 1968-1969 nickel dollars.

TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 3:12 pm Ty as well! I also wondered how likely a struck through wire would come out in a perfect arc? Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff
JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 05/14/2021 4:27 pm TippyCanoe, the wire could have had the arch already in it from possibly being wrapped around something before ending up between the dies during the strike or just a natural curve in the wire. There is usually no right or wrong answer when it comes to the "bend" in the wire that a coin was struck through, just coincidence often times.
