Okay this triple clipped 1919 is great. Thanks for sharing.
Sean Reynolds
Hi Sean, I'm missing something. Where's the third clip? Is it under the last letters of CENTS?
My guess as well, under NTS. More obvious looking at obverse to right of top clip.
Correct, adjacent to the larger clip at K-11 on the obverse. It doesn't line up to be Blakesley from the other clip, rather it is a third rim clip.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

My personal opinion is that your coin is damaged, and not a genuine clip. The lack of metal flow at the rim along side the clip, which is normally visible even in very low grades, is the reason why.

I see a very, very small disc clip at 11:30 also
(addition to the rim clip at 6 o’clock)~

You made my day Fred! Thanks very much for that!! 👍 👍
I agree, that's a triple clip - large at K-8:30, rim at K-11:30, disc at K-6.

Yep, I just looked it up. Never heard the term disc clip before. Thanks! 👍
A "disc clip coin," also commonly referred to as a "clipped planchet" coin, is a coin error that occurs when a portion of the metal blank (planchet) is missing from the edge of the coin, making it appear as if a piece has been "clipped" off, usually due to a manufacturing issue during the coin-making process where the planchet strip wasn't fed properly into the blanking press.

That description above is a simple plain explanation of a common “incomplete Planchet”
A disc clip, to me at least, is a very very small clip that is barely seen – may be affecting the rim and that’s about it

Fred, I do not recall ever seeing the term "disc clip" used. On this coin I would just have said "Rim clip," perhaps with an adjective such as "minor."

I can’t remember where or when I first heard the term “disc clip” but it’s been at least a few decades.
I’ll have to check Arnie‘s Error encyclopedia to see if he uses the term there.
Also possible that Blakesley used that term, but I’m not certain of that at all.

no drama - but a clip.
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

Here is one of mine. I acquired this one about three months ago. It came with two other 1996 Washington clips, but not as neat as this one.
Here a foreign coin. I think it's Brazilian. Not sure how common it is. I don't know the Obv. from the Rev.

Brazil would say "Brasil" on it.
Maybe yours is Peru?

1970-S. I think it's a double clip. Not easy getting the light reflection and focus correct.

Someone here recently said these clips are the gateway drug too the error world. I agree.

Three strikes and you're out.
Even I spotted the third clip. You must be having a bad day.
