arby96 Pillar of the Community United States 2111 Posts	Posted 08/16/2021 7:27 pm After purchasing a Digital Microscope, I have been checking my collection. I forgot about this one. This is what I believe to be a 1968S Small Die Clip? Now it may look obvious, yet one never knows. So leave your opinion. So far I am batting Zero when I post something I think is an error. Also check out my post on a roll of 1960D small dates. Enjoy "LOVE THE HUNT!" Edited by arby96 08/16/2021 7:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 08/16/2021 7:33 pm Also you should show the rim where the clip is to make sure it's not PMD Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/16/2021 7:42 pm It looks good from these images, as a Clipped or Incomplete Planchet. The coin shows a Blakesley Effect directly opposite the clip, which is a good indication that it's a true mint error. The edge of the missing area will help verify the origin of the anomaly. You should be able to get a good idea of the percentage of metal missing if you can let us know the weight. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Edited by Yokozuna 08/16/2021 7:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97510 Posts	Posted 08/16/2021 7:44 pm Sure looks like planchet clip to me (not a die clip). The rim at the opposite the clip looks deformed when it went through the rimming process Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 08/16/2021 8:59 pm @arby, after a rinse in acetone to remove your fingerprint, you should save this one in a 2x2 I think. It's a fun find!
