IHP clip or PMD?

Usually I’m really solid identifying whether something is an incomplete planchet or post mint altered. For some reason this one is tough for me. The weakness in the devices around the clip screams legit. I don’t have as much experience with ragged or straight clips so I’m unsure. Also no blakesly which I think isnt uncommon on a slightly larger clip such as this.

Thoughts?

thanks.

The tapered rim at the edge of the clip is a good sign that it is a legit clipped edge error coin.

 

I do see Blakesley, though -- the dentils are much less distinct opposite the clip.

I think it's legit, but let's wait for the error specialists...

 

It tapers off, how about a look at the third side?

 

Looks like an incomplete planchet to me.
I don't call it clipped because it never was clipped. It most likely was cut out of the stock sheet to close to a straight edge.

 

The edges would help. This one I ( myself) would pass up, just looks wrong to me.

 

Here's my IHC clip, can't find the reverse photo


I also wonder if this is a clip...

 

That would start with identifying the variety.
Neat coin!

 

Here is another clip, with a minor Blakesly.

 

Yeah, good point on the dentils. I was only looking at the rim I guess. Thanks.

 

Exactly what I see.

 

Yes it is.

 

A very nice incomplete planchet on your Indian Head Cent. The coin making process was much different then than it is today.

 

Looks like an edge punched blank (could not tell you right or left side though). Don't think it was end of roll because those usually are tampered or ragged.

 

Appreciate the feedback all. I thought it was, but was less than 100% so wanted some feedback before labeling and filing.
Thanks for taking the time.

 

Looks real to me

 

Oh my

 

What does the 1827 weight

 

I actually haven't done that...the next time I see it, I'll do it.

 

10.89g minus any damage loss. Best guesstimate.
