So I've had this particular coin for about as long as I can remember. I've always thought of this coin as it's 125yrs old, it's gonna wear down. It wasn't until I got into my adult years that I took numismatics seriously, particularly pertaining to US coinage. None more so then just about any year of 1¢ pieces all throughout our history. In my researching this specimen I found a few different examples of this series coin with clipped planchettes. None quite like this.   Now, this may not been anything more than time erosion but to myself it just seems too...perfect of an anomaly? I am nothing near a professional at any degree of numismatics so this could be a common thing with older coinage I just couldn't find anything on it. Thanks for your time. |

Hard to be sure with that much wear, but I lean toward PMD as will. |

Ok, pretty much what I was originally thinking. It's currently housed in a cardboard slab with plastic viewing area. I could get better photos of it with my new digital microscope and camera. Thnks again CCF. That's why I love this forum.

Yep, looks more like it was cut a long time ago.

It's a cull, but exhibits enough detail to be an interest conversation piece about our nation's coinage and history.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Not seeing any Blakesley effect so I would assume PMD as well. |

i agree with most of the others that this is not a clip but possibly filed or ground down PMD |
