That is actually a double Incomplete Planchet. They call it a 'Clipped' because it looks like it was cut but it never actually was. What happens is that when the stock sheet for the coin is being cut the sheet normally continues moving forward. If the stock sheet jambs at any moment and does not progress forward, then the next blank planchet are cut out of the sheet to close to the previous cut holes. That's why you can find single, double and even triple incomplete planchets because it all depends on where the blank was cut.
I really want to take a mint tour, I think it would put this into perspective for me. I've seen videos and done the virtual tour, but REALLY want to go in person. Do you know a value on something like this? $20? Not selling or anything, just trying to get a feel for the market.
And here is a Straight incomplete planchet on an Ike Guess where the blank was cut out from? The area? The edge of the stock sheet.
Wow that triple is something else! Very cool! I noticed you use NGC over PCGS, ANACS, etc. Any reason? Do you think any would attribute the worn die? Not imaging thats something they put on holders, but I want to make an error type set of what I find coin roll hunting. I love CRH, been doing it since I was a kid, started with my grandma.
I have been to the Philadelphia Mint. The only thing is they don't let you take pictures inside their facility I learned a lot that day!
What a cool graphic! Saving that FOR SURE! Thanks! Love that straight clip! Love that you have them on large coins. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
So cool! One day I'll make the journey. I guess that makes sense about the pictures inside... wouldn't want another Henning situation on their hands.
Ok, thanks for letting ne know, I'll probably want to get some other coins graded and will need to pick soon.
Clips are fun. Here is a minor. Here is a favorite. These were stamped on roller dies in long strips, then punched from the strip. I have lost the info on this one.
