Clipped 1929 dime - is it a keeper?

Postby Engineer » Wed Feb 01, 2012 12:58 am

While searching through some dimes tonight I found a clipped 1929 in what looked like a little better than good condition. It has edge wear, but isn't terrible for the year. The clip is a straight edge like it came off the side of the feed stock.

Is there much extra value in clipped but worn coins, or should I just roll it up with the rest?

If it is a real clipped error from the mint...sure it is a keeper.

If i remember correctly, look 180 degrees opposite the clip for rim damage/indentation. As the planchlet is "clipped" it flips up and is damaged by hitting the punching mechanism.
