<p>[QUOTE="westnlas, post: 1619300, member: 28223"]PMD. When looking at a clipped planchet, the rim is missing and tapers downward to the clip on both sides. This is because the planchets are cut before stamping, so the dies force the metal and cause it to taper. Next, the clip will have an arc the same size as the edge of the coin. To see this, place another dime against the "clip" and they will match. This is because as the planchets are cut from the sheet , a clip is when there isn't enough metal to make the full diameter (as some has been previously cut out).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
