    Quarter looks like a clipped planchet. A nice pick up and a keeper, for sure.

    A very nice off center zincoln. Too bad it doesn't have a date, but still a keeper.

    In God We rust is a common grease filled die. Meh.

    I'm sure someone else can advise as to any value.

    The T is just grease that partially filled the cavity of the T and prevented it from striking into the planchet very deeply. The Cent is a real good one. The Quarter is post-mint damage or a curved clip.

    I think that quarter is a clip because that looks like Blakesly effect on the opposite edge.

    The quarter is a common quarter, worth about a quarter. Spend it.

    The off center lincoln is worth about $5, maybe. It appears to have some environmental damage, which hurts it.

    The clip is very large, and very genuine. It is an attractive, fantastic error. Clips are fairly common, but that is a good sized one. I'm not sure how much its worth, but its probably in the $30 range.

    That is a nice clip.
    Most are not as severe or attractive.

    Ok this is probably a stupid question but... how does one tell the difference between a genuine clip from the mint and one that someone could have done with a clipping tool in their garage??

    I would say the penny is the best one of them all, in my opinion.

    The Blakesley effect opposite the clip.

    Good stuff guys. I never knew that the clipped error was one that happened at the time of making the planchet. I always thought it was at the time of press. Pretty interesting that the Blakesley effect is from lack of pressure when rolling the rim due to the missing metal.
