<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3986151, member: 92083&quot;]I believe what I have here is a zinc cent planchet that was struck about 95% off center and featires what is known as a &quot;&quot;strike clip.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>A strike clip is typically a curved clip on a coin created by the die striking action as it strikes a planchet off-center rather than by the blanking dies that punch out blanks from planchet strips (which are called curved clips). The planchet literally gets sheared by the coining dies on a strike clip.</p><p><br /></p><p>I picked this up because the mostly blank planchet boasts an excellent condition, os full red, no staining, and no significant contact marks. </p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone has a different opinion please feel free to share.&nbsp; ~Joe C.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1049629[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1049630[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
