Living the dream Cheech, living the dream.

How about you?

 

It happens when the planchet is stamped along the edge of the sheet. Curved clips happen when a planchet is cut out of the sheet but another planchet is cut out where one was just cut. There are times when you can have 2 or even 3 clips. The 3 clips happen more at the end of the roll as it dies not advance as it should but that straight clip is from the sides or edge of the roll.

Please remember that the correct term for clips is an incomplete planchet.

Quite interesting Zoid, and if in your shoes. I would love to play with the making of coins . Neat acquisition.

 

I love unusual coins with interesting history:
This beauty is from The Subalpine Republic, Northern Italy, the 3rd Republic created (After Alba and Piedmontesse) by the French in The Austro/Russian/French Wars of The French Revolution.
Only issued for 2 years 1800 -1801 the coins were made from the melted down Bronze from Church Bells and Cannonballs from Turin.
The area was restored by The Vienna Conference of 1814-15 as The Kingdom of Sardinia, along with Genoa to provide a greater buffer zone between them and France.
This baby may have a planchet (Ragged edge) clip also, but I'm not 100% sure on that
(If anyone could weigh in on this I'd appreciate it. It's worn enough that I find it difficult to see if there is Blakesley effect)
Subalpine Republic 2 Soldi, Year 9 (1800-1801) Medallic Orientation
Enjoy
