<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ziggy9, post: 1732021, member: 8360&quot;]&quot;I can&#039;t figure out why anyone would want or need to do this. Clipped planchets occurred because the coin was made from precious metal and the clippings had value. In this case, it actually causes the coin to loose value and is more like disfiguring or damaging the coin instead&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>A clipped planchet is the result of the flat stock being in some was adjusted while the blanks are being cut. This causes the cutter to either overlap a hole left from a previuos cut or overlap the edge of the stock causing a partial or &quot;clipped&quot; planchet</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;I would say no, the clip should have the same radius as the coin itself, the &#039;clip&#039; here looks too flat. &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>this is what is known as a straight clip. It is the result of the cutter cutting the blank at the edge of the stock, which is where the straight edge comes from.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Richard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
