Seems some new collectors think clips must be somewhat perfect arcs. In addition to ragged clips, corner clips, and edge clips, crescent clips are another example of non-perfect arcs. I've heard that if there's no date, PCGS will call these struck on scrap. Crescent clip sounds cooler. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 04/09/2026 10:53 am Wow, thats an extreme clip. Your right, it won't be a perfect arc, it starts of as an arc on the planchet but when the coin is struck, there is no collar in that area to restrict the flow of metal. Report this Post to the Staff

I was thinking .... How would this not fall through the upsetting mill or even jam it up ? Edited by Greasy Fingers 04/09/2026 10:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
