found this seen the battle marks on it and, sorry if photos are bad on the zoomed-out heads and tails. I am a new collector and would apricate all help and an explanation so i can learn the difference. I believe it could a clipped planchet but I am more leaning to a after mint damage. any input would be apricated.
Hello and Welcome! Post Mint Damage(PMD). I " appreciate" it. "Apricate" means to bask in the Sun. Also, The front is the OBVERSE and the "tails" is the REVERSE. Take Care.
Planchets aren't actually clipped. They are incomplete. When you know the difference you will rule the issue when you see what you see. Your Cent is damaged.
Your coin is damaged after it left the mint. FYI-The correct term is an incomplete planchet. There CSA are different clips which describe the planchet error but a clipped planchet is not a correct term. zBoth of these coins are incomplete planchet errors with a curved clip. There are a number of different types of clips but they are incomplete planchets. Hope this helps and welcome to CT.
Welcome to CT Doyle. Enjoy the ride. I hope you have found the useful web sites for collectors, like: Wexler’s site: http://www.doubleddie.com/1801.html Error coin site: http://www.error-ref.com Variety Vista: http://varietyvista.com/CONECA Master Listings.htm Numismatics can have a steep learning curve, so read everything you can on the subject. Also, posting photos. This is the suggestion I post for new members. For the best results, you should post "in focus," FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and are easily enlarged by clicking on it). Photograph coins on neutral backgrounds like black, grey, or white. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows (you can use https://www.remove.bg for free), and post photos with correct orientation so members don't have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. While it isn’t always necessary, it is nice to show both the obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.
Yeah and learn how to say correct coin reverse and front otherwise a few. Ppl in here will let u know
