<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 4958981, member: 33176"]Hey, welcome to CoinTalk from another 75-year-old!!! A clipped planchet (like [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER] said) comes about when they punch out the blanks for striking the coins, and the punched area overlaps where another blank has been punched out (curved clip) or the edge of the metal strip (straight clip). The clip should be the same curvature as a coin, you should be able to lay another cent in the clipped portion and it should fit. Yours obviously won't fit at all. Another way to (usually) tell a real clip is when the blank goes through the machine that puts a rim on the coin, the clipped area causes a weakness in the rim 180 degrees away from the clip. This is known as the Blakesley Effect and is often seen. The absence of the effect is not proof that it isn't a clip, but if the effect is present, it is good proof that it is a legitimate clip.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
