just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/11/2009 9:09 pm There are many places where coin terminology is explained. One of the more common ones is on pages 400 and up in the famous Red Book by Whitman Publishing. For example there is states Clipped Planchet-An incomplete coin, missing 10 to 25% of the metal. This is followed by a paragraph of explanations. Report this Post to the Staff

tepritts Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 09/12/2009 09:38 am Saw the subject line and expected a bunch of replies about the new quarter program announced by mint. That's MINT clipping to me. Seriously, would someone post how to determine if a clip is real or post mint damage (ie fraud). Thanks. Terrell Report this Post to the Staff
