Yes, looks funky with the "crease" going through the design.

Seeing it is on both sides I would say yes - incomplete clip.  |

Not PMD. It's an Incomplete Clip. Nice find.  Errers and Varietys.

There doesn't seem to be any displacement of the metal within the design elements, so it certainly appears to be a pre-strike condition.

Well, there are a few guys up above that know more about this than I do, so I take back the comment that it looks funky. It's probably a clip from the comments above.

This is a legit error, the proper terminology is "struck on an incomplete punched planchet". There are lots of examples in this Canadian sub-forum. Quote:

That is certainly something I have never seen, but have to agree with the majority above of an incomplete clip. Seeing how both sides line up perfectly and it appears that a sharp edge cause the arc on both sides.
How does even occur?

Interesting planchet error. I've never seen one before. Are they more common in Canadian coins than US coins for any reason? |

I have several examples in both U.S. and Canadian. Doesn't seem to be a big difference between the two countries but I would have to go with U.S. being more available.

Zimmy, considering that the US probably strikes an order of magnitude more coins in each denomination more than Canada, the probability is a lot higher for a greater population of errors. There are some crazy cool errors I see in US coins, that I can only dream of for a Canadian counterpart.

SPP.....I agree with your reasoning. Since I actively collect both countries, there are some things that I can't explain as to why a particular error type is much more scarce for Canada and not the other (even taking the fact that mintage figures are significantly higher for US coins). For example, why are there so many more off center US coins. Why isn't there more Canadian Cuds. Why aren't there more wrong stock errors on Canadian, or coins struck on rolled thin or thick planchets. One of the areas that Canada seems to produce more in relative terms is wrong planchet errors and small curved clips. I do think there are more US incomplete punched coins but there does seem to be a fair amount of Canadian examples out there. |
