    Nice! Interesting split on the clip. I thought the nickel planchets would be solid throughout and not sandwiched like clad coinage. image

    I've never seen a split like that before!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    It looks defective... can you return it to the mint to get one that's not damaged? image

    Looks right to me. I can make up a few excuses for that horizontal line but really there's no way of knowing how it got there, only that it was there before the strike.

    Apparently not. That doesn't rule it out from being a genuine error. I agree with Sean that this coin looks right, and a very interesting error indeed.

    It's from the long end of the roll, imo;
    sometimes this will be more irregular,
    and called a 'ragged end clip'.

    In this case, it's a 'straight end clip' that
    didn't come from the straight SIDE, but
    from the end of the strip; the strips have
    been finished off in different ways over
    the decades, in my observations.

    I'm sure Mike D. will chime in with a more
    detailed explaination (or I hope so!)

    I agree with Fred. Genuine, with some form of cutting mark on an end of the coil.

    Thinking a little more about this, I have seen many straight clips with what looks like a shallow incomplete clip right at the edge of the planchet. I've always assumed that as Fred suggests it is an artifact of how the leading or trailing edge of the planchet strip is finished. I've even seen some with a "step" on the straight edge. Somday I'll hve to go through some of my stuff and put together some comparative photos, this seems like a ripe area for study.
