<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3469412, member: 101855&quot;]On older coins, mint caused defects, like struck throughs and clipped planchets can actually lower the value. A few years ago, I was negotiating for a high grade (AU-58) 1795 half cent that had a tiny planchet clip. The coin was raw (not in a third party holder), and I wanted it graded for registry set purposes.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the coin came back in a holder than mentioned the clipped planchet, the coin had a lower value than if it came back with that left unsaid. The clip was something 1% if that. The coin came back “normal” so I bought it for the asking price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
