i'm guessing you mean clipped planchet?

 

Clipped planchets! Nice!

 

Yes, but you have a variety. This is a curved Clip. You also have straight etc...

 

thanks for posting them, may I ask what sort of premium if any they command? I do not have any, I am just wondering in case I run across some while roll searching.

 

Just for additional information. Most (not all) clipped planchets have what's called the Blakesley Effect. If you look directly opposite of the clip, you'll see a weak area on the rim.
