tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 10:28 pm I've put up a couple tapered planchets recently so thought this would be a good addition to the topic. It has always been proposed that the tapering would often be related to the edge or end of the roll of copper. If true, then straight clips should reasonably be fairly common on tapered planchets. And it turns out this is true. No date Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - tapered planchet with straight clip 2.62g Edited by tropicalbats 12/17/2021 10:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 11:37 pm That's a very nice example! Tapering looks even better on lightly circulated coins in my opinion. Edited by QuarterHoarder72 12/17/2021 11:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 11:57 pm I don't know about circulated example, but yes, these do look a lot better on a toned or brown coin than on a red one. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 12/18/2021 3:53 pm Thanks! I'd love to know the date, but didn't see anything that would give it away. What is leading you toward 1946? Frog I suppose you are right, which is odd given my only really declared collecting bit is the DDO-001 series and on the side working to finish the full set of CONECA 1970-S DDO coins. Somehow all these other things just keep showing up and I don't turn them away. Report this Post to the Staff
