<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2327393, member: 19165&quot;]This is not entirely true. The proper term for this error is an &quot;incomplete planchet,&quot; and there are three basic appearances. The curved &quot;clip&quot; is due to a punch overlapping a previous punch, as you mention. The straight &quot;clip&quot; occurs when the punch occurs at the edge of the metal strip, as seen on the Lincoln shown above. You can also have a &quot;ragged edge&quot; &quot;clip,&quot; which can occur at either end of the metal strip. The Canadian coin shown above exhibits a ragged edge clip, and many US coins are known with the same appearance (I used to own a Franklin with a ragged edge. I have since sold it).</p><p><br /></p><p>All that being said - I agree that your Barber shows post mint damage. There are no signs of being a true incomplete planchet error, as you indicate.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the date, there appears to be a small die chip in the 9 and the 6. These, as you probably know, are quite common.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
