akglen Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 06/24/2009 1:40 pm I've come across a couple of one cent pieces like this one. How can you tell if it was caused when the blank was punched out or if it was done afterwards? How does this effect value if it was caused at the mint? Report this Post to the Staff

yotie Pillar of the Community United States 3077 Posts	Posted 06/24/2009 2:34 pm looks like a clipped planchet and from this deffiniton it happened whem making the blank Quote: clipped A term for an irregularly cut planchet. A clip can be straight or curved, depending upon where it was cut from the strip of metal Edited by yotie 06/24/2009 2:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Steph_260 New Member Canada 6 Posts	Posted 08/27/2009 12:21 pm I've just realised that I also have a 1972 one cent with the clipped planchet. However, mine has two crescent shapped clips. They seem to be genuine as there is weakness/marks on the rips opposite the clips. Is it rare to have 2 clips on one coin? Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/27/2009 1:44 pm I would not call a double clip "rare" but it is certainly less common and more desirable than a single clip. Report this Post to the Staff
