Is this an error or after mint damage?

    Clipped planchet error.

    Genuine curved planchet clip verified by the Blakesley effect, or rim weakness, on the opposite side of the clip.

    Genuine clipped planchet:

    1. The rim slopes into the clip
    2. The design fades into the clip and the letters around it are distorted.
    3. The 'Blakesley Effect' is present. This is a flat spot on the rim opposite the clip. This happens when the planchet goes through the upsetting mill, which puts a raised rim on the planchet before striking. Because of the clip, there's no metal to push the opposite side against the wheel that raises the edge, so it is flatter.

    Very nice blank clip clipped blank that made it through the minting process - found/bought?

    All this and I'll point out one other cool diagnostic on clad coinage - if you look at the inside of the clip, the clad layers look inverted. That is a residual effect of the cutting / tearing of the metal when the planchet was punched, basically you are seeing the effect of the dull side of the punch dragging against the clad material.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Awesome piece of information. I had to go back and look at the clad clips that I have.

    I wish I’d find something in the Pepsi machine at the school I teach at. Everyone swipes a credit card….

    Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.
