DylansDad Valued Member United States 476 Posts	Posted 05/16/2010 12:03 pm I found this Kennedy clip while roll searching half dollars on Friday. I stopped in at a shop yesterday and he indicated he'd probably sell it for $29 in his store, then looking through his cabinet I saw he had a bicentennial clip marked at $89 that looked extremely similar to mine. Any opinions on value? The Blakesley Effect Report this Post to the Staff

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 05/16/2010 1:10 pm To me $29 for this clip sounds high and $89 for the 1976 clip sounds outrageous. See what others say. Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5822 Posts	Posted 05/16/2010 2:28 pm I came back from my local coin show today and didn't buy any coin, just pick up 100 2x2 coin flaps for $3. I stop checking after going around the dozen dealers that was selling their items, because the prices were much higher from last month for what I call less than average quality silver coins. So maybe coins prices will continue to rise. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 05/17/2010 08:43 am You've gotta be kidding. There couldn't be a more textbook example of a curved clip. Report this Post to the Staff
DylansDad Valued Member United States 476 Posts	Posted 05/17/2010 10:52 am Thanks for the input guys. In my dealer's defense I didn't look THAT closely at the bicentennial clip and it may have been a bit larger clip than mine which of course would have affected the price; it may have also been a proof or something other special about it. Really I just glanced over it. Do you have an opinion as to value coppercoins? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/17/2010 12:44 pm Bicentennial errors, just like State Quarter errors, are valued higher than a generic date because they are limited mintage type coins but there are other factors that can contribute to value(size and type of clip, etc). $20 would probably be a good starting point for the 1972 incomplete (clipped) planchet and it is most definitely genuine with all of the classic diagnostics present.

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 05/20/2010 12:27 am It is without a doubt a half struck on an incomplete planchet. Chuck said it best:-) It's textbook. People tend to flock to Bicentennial half errors when they are found so the $89.00 price tag may seem high but is reasonable. The 1972 D dated half is considered a "generic" error coin and the $29.00 price tag is OK since the missing portion is not that huge.
