A first for me! Thanks for posting this! I'll be watching for one, like that will ever happen! LOL Congrats on the 38,000 posts!!!

 

Congrats on your 38,000, @paddyman98
Nice to find an error coin on your birth year.

 

Congratulations on 38,000 posts. That is a nice error but now I think I need one. Maybe one day.

 

Way to go. Congratulations

 

And the really nice thing about that coin is that you didn't have to dig it up. Congats on the addition & the 38K posts, gran hombre !

 

wow, 38,000 posts, and I understood three of them.

 

wrapping machine damage, set it free. J/K congrats on the score and the milestone!

 

Nice. John Burgess is just kidding, but in my ignorance had I found it in change I might have mistaken it for wrapping machine damage and sent it back into the wild. Now I wonder if I've ever done that!

 

Wrapping machine damage or as it's known.. The Ring of death is usually a circular pattern and only on one side if the coin. Now that you know what a Incomplete Curved Clip looks like and how it occurs you can be more attentive to it.

 

VERY cool error, but it seems to me that incomplete curved clip is a misnomer. Incomplete punch seems much better.

 

I agree. The link I provided calls it an Incomplete Punch. That makes more sense to me also.

 

Nice but the pictures are not viewable

 

That's strange. Everyone else can view the pictures. Problem might be on your end.

 

Wow, two greats in one day. Great coin, great accomplishment. Congratulations! Bah-Hum-Bug, don't want you to get the wrong idea, I'm still jealous.

 

38,000 posts eh? Just think . . . all of the time you spent posting here, you could have been out metal detecting and maybe struck it rich. LOL
