If it appears the details are lacking in that area and the rim appears flat, then it is more than likely that you have a genuine clipped planchet error.</p><p>Clipped planchets occur when a thin strip of coining metal is fed into a machine for blanks to be punched out. Sometimes the strip of metal will not be properly fed into the punch, which causes a blank to be punched out that overlaps the spot where an earlier blank was punched out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
