Clip or PMD ?

    I think it's a clip. I see something going on directly across the coin from the area of interest. The obverse pic makes it look more like a genuine clip than the reverse pic does.

    I'd agree...tentatively.

    Genuine clip, imo.

    I see metal flow/soft rims
    at each end of the clip area.

    The coin's a bit rough, but the
    clip is real.

    Usually I beat Fred to these and he posts his agreement, but we'll flip it around today. Fred is 100% correct, you can see the signs of metal flow on the rim next to the clip and the slight weakness of the rim directly across from the clip, both hallmarks of a genuine incomplete planchet. You didn't ask, but value in that grade is $3-$5. Glue an 'S' on the reverse and I'd be a buyer at a much higher level. image

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
