Here a couple more error coins for viewing and discussion:
1976 Dime - Real deal
1972 Half - Please comments on this one -Likely PMD
1940 Cent - PMD
From a couple of weeks ago, a mixed bag. Some great errors and some "not so much"
I pile submitted from grading....likely next spring. I post some cuds in the next few days.

The length of that straight clip seems abnormally long
The only genuine error is the dime.
The half appears to be similar to a strike clip, but the circumference of the clip is too narrow to be genuine.
It’s a straight clip, bent slightly upward during strike.
1976 Dime is a real error while the other two are not.
FWIW...the radius of the clip on the half is that of a quarter's radius. Just a curious coin.
Yes, the Lincoln show pressure folds caused by exerting pressure in press or such tool on edges, so pmd. Not savvy enough to know of the Kennedy, but thanks for the education. We have some very educated folks on this forum for all varieties of coins, which makes for a most educative and enjoyable time.

The half cannot be an incomplete planchet (clip). There is excess metal that extends beyond the collar, the details are strong right to the edge of the "clip", and if you look closely on the rev, some of the H and lower part of the olive branch are visible on the clipped surface. None of these could occur during the minting process.
Interesting... I enjoy reading/seeing error coins... and the explanations which either confirm the error or explain the PMD....Thanks guys... Cheers, RickO
