Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 08/23/2010 11:35 pm Technically, it is called an "incomplete planchet". But, I guess "clipped planchet" is never going to go away. But, yes, that's a good one a worth a modest premium. It's a keeper! Report this Post to the Staff

Dcreek1968 Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 08/24/2010 09:00 am Scooby, when you say its worth a modest premium,can you give us some real figures? What does a coin like that sell for to an error collector? What would a dealer pay? Just curious. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/24/2010 11:21 am It would be worth a few dollars to a collector, a dealer would not pay much at all for it though(a buck if you are lucky). It is a small clip and a larger one would increase the value as would a coin in nicer condition. Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 08/24/2010 11:22 am Well, pricing is always speculative. Personally, I wouldn't pay more than about $5-7 for it. So, a dealer might give you half of that (he has to make money, too!) Of course, if you were lucky enough to have several people caught up in a bidding war, you might realize more. There are some error collectors that are perfectly content with just having an incomplete planchet in their collection (hence the $5-7 price tag), and there are collectors that are trying to complete a collection of every year or maybe even every year and mintmark. If that happened to be one that they really needed...... If you took a poll, I would imagine you would get votes from $2-$10. Report this Post to the Staff
