Now, this is an error!

Found this curved clip planchet mint error JFK half at a great best offer price. It is a pretty significant mint error, and a nice addition to my Kennedy collection

Nice example, and with a clear "Blakesley effect" on the obverse

 

That’s a sweet one. Hard to find clips on Half Dollars. I have one but hesitant to post in your thread.

 

Please do post it.

 

10 percent, I believe.

 

Thanks. Just didn’t want to, well you know. Now I gotta find that photo. Lol

 

Here it is. I consider myself very fortunate to have this error in my collection. And it’s still raw.

 

Both are great examples, with @Collecting Nut's coin winning the contest. LOL
Hard to imagine either coin being in circulation for any length of time.

 

What is a Blakesley Effect"?

 

The rim, opposite from the clip is either nonexistent, or severely weakened.

 

I see it, thanks.

 

Sweet

 

Can you weigh it and tell if 10%

 

Oh my. You got the stuff of few!!!!

 

NGC designation.

 

I don’t think my coin is a 64. Maybe I should have it graded.

 

Definitely. Multiple clipped coins are selling for $400-500, and up.

 

"Clipped" planchets are not actually clipped at any time. They are Incomplete. The planchet itself was cut out of the stock sheet was to close to a previously cut out planchet.
So nothing was ever cut or bitten out of the planchet

 

That seems a bit high.

Here is my favorite from my collection
Triple Incomplete Planchet..


And 2 more..
