    From what I can tell, it actually looks like a large portion that came between the dies was actually ripped or folded off post strike. I could be wrong.

    Looks like PMD to me....

    I'm addicted to exonumia ... it is numismatic crack!

    Can you shoot the straight edge while the coin is flat

    Like that, instead of angled in the first picture

    This one looks like a generic off center which had the struck portion come detached after the strike. Occasionally errors like this one are damaged by counting or rolling equipment, I think the edge of the clip will show signs of trauma consistent with PMD.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    More like deliberately sheared to make a more expensive error.
