riz36 New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 03/19/2024 5:20 pm I am not sure what I am looking at with this coin. Can someone help me determine the right terminology for the error (s) on this coin? I was going to list on ebay but not sure it is worth it. Thank you in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

riz36 New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 03/19/2024 8:52 pm I may have had bad images. Is it a clipped planchet? Is it just PMD? I am a bit thrown by the missing letters Liberty and Dollar. I do appreciate all your comments. Just showing better images. Report this Post to the Staff
captainmandrake1 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 03/19/2024 10:08 pm Maybe a prior owner was trying to fake a clipped planchet by inexpertly damaging the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74096 Posts	Posted 03/19/2024 10:21 pm Definitely 100% PMD. The edge has been pushed in, from a hit, causing the metal to get displaced. Here's what a genuine Clipped Planchet looks like. https://www.error-ref.com/_curved_clips_/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 03/20/2024 3:45 pm If it were a clip, the area 180 degrees from the clip would show weakness (Blakesley Effect). This coin is just damaged. Report this Post to the Staff

Some clips don't show the effect. Especially the bigger ones. But this coin is all damage. The weak letters are from a hard hit on the rim that bend the coin.
