<p>[QUOTE=&quot;paddyman98, post: 3516848, member: 44615&quot;]My understanding is that Ragged Clips or Planchet Cracks usually occur on Solid Planchets such as silver or all copper. Even on clad planchets. A Copper plated cent is made differently. The Zinc Planchets are first punched out of zinc sheets then plated. If let&#039;s say there was a ragged clip zinc planchet before the copper is applied then the zinc would not be exposed such as yours is. The copper would cover all areas of the zinc.</p><p>As you may know I metal detect. I have seen hundres of examples if copper plated zinc cents with the type of errosion yours shows.</p><p>As I stated. The Off Center is real but there is no ragged clip nor split planchet. I&#039;m sure Fred will concur with me.</p><p>It&#039;s great that you have shown your Cent and that you have inquired about it. There is no problem with that. But you can&#039;t just look at other examples of mint errors such as the 2 coins you showed and just assume that it&#039;s what you have. I&#039;m just trying to help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
