Jeneren New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 04:49 am Does this look like a clipped planchet? And is this a valuable coin? Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 05:16 am Need to photograph both sides of the clip site to determine if PMD one directional shear or not. A clipped blank should not show signs of one directional shear, because that is obliterated during upset process (making the thickened edge), and planchet strike Report this Post to the Staff
Jeneren New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 05:18 am Any idea of the value? I have another that's not clipped as well and one that has no mint mark in same condition. I saw a short clip online and stated they were valuable, thought I'd ask here to find out for sure. Thanks for your time Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 05:22 am A closeup of the clipped edge could be helpful as @sel is mentioning. As to value, best guide is to look at sold prices on ebay for similar clips. The value goes up by how much of the coin is missing, especially if the date is left.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 10:50 am Check ebay's sold listenings for similar coins. As to value, generally these aren't worth much. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 10:56 am Check to see if a nickel will fit into that clipped area? What I'm not seeing on this coin is The Blakesley affect or the weakening of the devices near the rim. It a nickel is to large to fit into that area, I feel it maybe an altered coin. Looks like it was cut in two directions. A curved clip should only show one direction for the clip. Also note the rim is pushed into the direction of the clip. It shouldn't look like that on the a real curved clip. Report this Post to the Staff

Not seeing the Blakesley effect, and the two various colored areas in the missing area do look like two actions done to the coin.

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 2:16 pm This looks genuine to me. The way the metal flows and fades towards the clip, especially on the obverse, is quite telling. The "shearing" texture seen on only half the edge seems quite typical too. More close-up pictures of the rim there (not the edge) would be good to confirm. The Blakesley effect is a good diagnostic to start on, but it isn't always present in very small (or very large) clips. Plus, the curvature of clips can distort so that it won't always match the curvature of the coin (though this is more true of large clips). Should we have Mike Diamond take a look at this one?

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 09/18/2022 6:03 pm Looks like a clip to me. And I see a small Blak. effect. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 09/18/2022 8:37 pm This it is a man made like a clipped planchet. Is no question about. Legitimate clipped planchet always is strait on rim cut. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96735 Posts	Posted 09/18/2022 9:43 pm I'm with Coop and Silvio on this - the cut should go through the entire coin from one direction, not meet in the middle.
