nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 03/28/2009 10:34 am Found another possible while roll hunting. Is this a clipped planchet, or is it damage or a fake? Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/28/2009 10:59 am That is about a 3 to 5 % clipped planchet mint error I think but a look at the area of the rim would maybe help. ( The coin from the side. ) I say this because the raised part of the rim appears to fade a bit toward the outer ends of the clip. A cut coin or grinded coin would have abrupt rim ends.

still lookin Pillar of the Community 967 Posts	Posted 03/28/2009 11:01 am Clip. I do believe. The weak rim directly opposite the clip should confirm. Report this Post to the Staff

TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 03/28/2009 3:07 pm looks like a clip, there is some evidence of the Blakesley effect on the reverse, but hard to see. Value? Not a whole lot, but very collectible. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 03/28/2009 3:11 pm Hi, It is a coin struck on an incomplete planchet. They are commonly called clips. The planchet is missing a portion before the coin is struck. One with this small amount missing would be in my estimation a $10.00 to $15.00 coin. Have Fun, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
seanq New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 03/31/2009 3:41 pm Clipped planchet, genuine mint error, worth on the order of $15-20 depending on if someone needs the date. nice find in a roll, clips that large tend to be caught by the rolling equipment. Sean Reynolds Report this Post to the Staff
