Are clipped pennys from the 80's worth anything, or does everyone have one. No, they are not homemade.   |

I think that they aren't that rare, but that they are worth a bit.

Clips can be found in 1980 and 1981, the latter being slightly less common. Scissel probably can give you more details regarding Canadian clipped 1-cent coins.

For bright red (MS-62 or better), you can find them for roughly $20. I can find circulated 1980 and 1981 clips for about a buck each... they are quite common.

Most Canadian clipped cents are dated from about 1960 to 1984. Later years are hard to find. I'm sure I have over 100 of them dated 1980. It seems it was a very prolific year for all kinds of errors. I like to arrange clips into "around the clock" sets.
Average sized clipped cents are usually worth about a dollar each unless they're gem grade or someone is looking for a particular item to complete a set.

Why would the edges be clipped?

Incomplete(clipped) planchets are caused by an overlap during the blanking process when the blanks are punched from the metal stock sheet. If the sheet is not advanced far enough after a punch, the next punch will overlap those holes. Nothing is actually clipped, hence the proper terminology incomplete planchet. You can also have straight edges the come from the side of the sheet and ragged edges that come from the end of the sheet, both of them less common than the curved type.
