    That’s a clipped planchet, not a rim clip-Too large to be a rim clip

    Nice example

    Ricko.

    It was found in a mint set.

    Fred.

    How common or uncommon are clipped half dollar planchets?

    And what do you think the value of this coin is?

  • FredWeinbergFredWeinberg Posts: 5,714 ✭✭✭✭✭

    They are fairly common, even the 1964's. I've been
    thinning out my box 'o clips in the past few months,
    selling the silver 64's, and also the 40% and Clad dates.

    Your nice BU 69-D would bring about $15, maybe a
    bit more, on Ebay - a $15-$25 retail coin, imo.

    I agree with Fred - it is not terribly rare on it's own, but it would have been a great find still in the Mint set.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Kevin,

    That is a nice find. It's a good conversation piece.

    Wish I could find a mint set with an error coin! Still neat to find!

    SanctionII-

    You have pictures of it in the Mint Set?

    I have one with a nice struck thru on the cent.

    If you bought the set from a dealer was the error noted?

    No, I bought it straight from the Mint back in 1990.

    That was fortunate for you. Good score.
