Clipped Planchet Lincolns

erwindocerwindoc Posts: 5,287 ✭✭✭✭✭
Picked up one of these in group of BU Lincolns at a nearby pawn shop for next to nothing. I dont know much about them. Its 1971 and looks low end BU. I took a photo, but its not uploading right or I would post a photo. Any idea how much these are worth? Its clipped starting from Liberty up to the "D" in God.

    Depending on the size of the clip, anywhere from $2-$10 for the Bronze ones image

    Well that sound good considering that in the group was also a BU Red 44s, 44d, 55s, a 59 proof and 3 pre-40s circulated canadian cents all for $5.

    That coin is worth a couple of dollars, clips are very common for this date but your coin is a little nicer and the clip a little bigger than typically seen.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Is it a straight clip? Its not exactly what you'd expect from a curved clip, even when considering curved clips this large are often distorted a bit in shape.

    It has a slight curve in the middle of the clip and I think you cannot appreciate it in the photos due to glare.
