<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jonsullivan, post: 948667, member: 26586&quot;]Some people calculate off-center % based upon how much design is missing, and others do it based on how much planchet is visible. I prefer how much design is showing, as this really is a more descriptive method since, for example, a coin can show 80% of the planchet surface but also be only missing 60% of the design. So if there is only 20% of the design showing (as I would judge your coin), then you would call the coin 80% off-center.</p><p><br /></p><p>Clips can be done by weight, but I prefer an approximation based on how large the clip appears. Weighing the coin is more of a scientifically accurate method, but it&#039;s a flawed method if you&#039;re a collector, because virtually all collectors really don&#039;t care how much metal is &quot;technically&quot; missing, but simply want to know how big the clip is visually. So I used the &quot;visual&quot; method. Your coin appears to be missing 5% of the coin, so I would call it a 5% clip.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jon[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
