Could I just post a bunch of links to Marty's posts instead? Actually,maybe this will get him to post some more pics of that stuff - nice call!
I don't know if I've ever shared this bunch - for a while I had a birth-year set of off-center strikes. The cent and nickel have since been sold, and the quarter is in at PCGS right now in anticipation of a sale:

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

This thread motivated me to photograph the latest addition to my type set of clips - an 1804 half cent:
The coin is quite a bit darker in person than the photo suggests. I hit a Buy It Now on this one last week for $90 - how'd I do?

I have that same 85-P $.25, 176 or 180 degree. Its still raw, found it in the early 1990's not too much after reading a summary of coins found and put into articles in Coin World.
There may be - about a month ago there wa a clipped 1921 Morgan in a Benson holder that went for much more than a normal clip for the date.

Since this thread is still around... here's one of the biggest clips you'll see on a Franklin Half.
I don't own that one any more, either, but I have right of first refusal if the current owner ever finds another '53-D clip to replace it in his date set.

It's not an error. It's a common form of vandalism. The coin was squeezed to a smaller diameter, forcing up a high "rim" that curls over the peripheral design elements.

Great, this is actually the throw in coin, but for some reason they only pictured this one. $80.00 for two coins is not too bad.
By the way, who is Benson?

I thought the Peace $ might have been a VAM,but came back as a cleaned lamination.The penny's just broadstruck to the size of a nickle.
