I have a 2001-d penny that looks like the planchet was chipped, not sure what to do with it

    Looks like post-Mint damage

    The error you are referring to is a clip. Your coin mimics a clip, but might just be damaged. The probkem is that once the inner zinc core was exposed it deteriorates so before long it won't matter what caused it.

    Definitely damaged. Not a genuine clip. Sorry.

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

    Just another damaged Lincoln cent.

    @Bobjoe56 ....Welcome aboard....That is a damaged cent - PMD (Post Mint Damage) and not worth any numismatic premium. Cheers, RickO
