<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alurid, post: 8190133, member: 81991&quot;]Here is an uncommon type of error coin. A true Clipped Planchet&nbsp; most likely from the 1989 – 1994 era according to error-ref.com.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1433721[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1433722[/ATTACH]</p><p>I had a bit of reservation calling this a Saddle Strike Error when I first got it. Now after a bit of study I do believe this is a Head to Base type of Saddle Strike.</p><p><a href="https://www.error-ref.com/saddle-strike-head-to-base/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.error-ref.com/saddle-strike-head-to-base/" rel="nofollow">https://www.error-ref.com/saddle-strike-head-to-base/</a></p><p>&nbsp;And it has a Strike Clip which is caused by the coin die shearing off part of the planchet against the collar die, and the reason for most of its assigned value.&nbsp; The small piece that gets sheared off and struck is called an Elliptical Strike Clip, and look somewhat like a football.</p><p><a href="https://www.error-ref.com/elliptical-strike-clips/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.error-ref.com/elliptical-strike-clips/" rel="nofollow">https://www.error-ref.com/elliptical-strike-clips/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1433724[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1433726[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1433728[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1433729[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1433730[/ATTACH] </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The lines on the face sides of this planchet are most likely roller line as they run parallel to each other on both sides.&nbsp; They may have become more pronounced with age, but I cannot show any evidence of that.</p><p>Thanks for looking. Please post any Saddle Strike Coins or Strike Clipped Errors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
