[QUOTE="alurid, post: 7898024, member: 81991"]Yea, just a bit. but this is a good way for the newer generation of numismatics to learn how to associate the old inaccurate term "Clip" with the scientifically correct term "Incomplete Planchet". I'm in for Slip to. In days of old people would "Clip" the edge of a coin to "steal" a bit of precious metal. This is the reason most modern coins have reeded edges. The name "Clip" was given to Incomplete Planchet coins because they look like Clipped coins of old that actually had the edge cut off by a person. A clipped coin is a whole coin that has some of the edge removed. An Incomplete Planchet was made with part of it missing, it never was a whole complete planchet. (a blank at this point of manufacturing) This is just one of a number of numismatic misnomers, that will not be changed easily because it has been ingrained into numismatic terminology since the mints began making coin blanks with an automatic feed blanking presses. But please remember that Ignorance is an action that people preform when they do not want to learn or change.[/QUOTE]
