1963 Lincoln cent with a clipped planchet

JoshuaKTR

Hello, Joshua here. I believe this to be a clipped planchet, hesitant though

Welcome to the forum!

Wow! That looks like a 100% clip..... I can't see any of the original coin.

Hell sir, i don't think I've been approved to post photographs yet

Look forward to seeing it when you get approved.

You should be able to post a link to your photos if they are on an image hosting site.

Until you can post pics, here is some good info on clips. This should help you determine if it's a true error, or just someone having fun with a grinder.

Thanks. What would you say is the verdict on this

jonathanb

Unquestionably real. Worth a dollar or two.

Rampage

Genuine straight clip with the Blaksley effect, worth a couple to a few dollars.

OAKSTAR

Looks like a blakesley effect to me. Nice find!

LanceNewmanOCC

why does the straight clip look like as thought it is trying to pretend to be a clamshell?

BLUEJAYWAY

I like it.

It’s an end of strip clip that’s why it’s unfinished on the edge

ricko

Interesting cent and thanks @FredWeinberg for that clarification. I was wondering the same thing about the 'split' visible at the clip. Cheers, RickO

Unlike me to be this late to a clip party but as others have said, it's a genuine end of strip clip.
