Great pics as always. At first glance I think they both are ragged clips, just very small ones. Are you sure that the cracks are not laminations? NICE! MM

Yes lamination cracks and flaking. These are the first ragged clips I ever found. I'm going to edit my initial post with a few corrections.

Not clips per se, "ragged fissure" is the proper term. Those are made prior to the punching of the blanks, and are probably from improperly annealed bronze, with stress related fissure tears in the metal from the rolling of the strips.

Thanks for your input on these. As my initial post and pictures that there was a problem with the batch of 1971 coins as I was going through them. There must have been 30 coins with issues.
I'm definitely going to research the term Ragged Fissure

Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
