<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 173566, member: 1242&quot;]The cut is too clean to be a cut to make change! Besides, who is going to make change from One Cent and how many items could have cost only 2/5ths of a Cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy noted what I forgot about coins struck on clipped planchets and that is that the strike is always weaker on the side of the coin opposite from the clip or missing section. Since the Dies meet no resisitance on the clipped side, more pressure is applied to this missing section which results in a weaker than normal strike on the opposite side of the planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim,</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can provide some pictures of the coin on the clipped side...especially the side of the coin and showing the entire length of the clip it&#039;s self, I am sure that Mike Diamond and some others here on the Coin Talk forums can tell if the clip is Pre-Strike or Post Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
