Clips are kind of an obsession of mind.  One member here calls me the "clip king"

Since I started collecting coins.  I've always been interested in them for some reason despite how common they are.  These days I don't get too many, just the ones on odd denominations, some double clips, and bigger decimal clips.  I've got three elliptical clips which are my favourite and I'd like some more but they don't come up too often and are very pricey when they do.

PPH prodded me about posting this.  Lovely UNC 1967 20c that is clipped AND it's a partial collar.

They are all very appealing to me. I have a few, but it will take me ages to get a collection of clips like yours. :blush:

Thankyou,
 it was one of my first misstrike florins, from memory I outbid some bloke in India to keep it here in Australia. Dem was the days before Ebay started screwing everything up, when you could see the other bidders.  
Got hooked on errors and varieties pretty much ever since.

What's going on with that 5c Gnome?

This clip is a bit mangy but it's an interesting and rare one.  It's a 1963 florin struck on an elliptically clipped planchet.  The missing part of the coin on the obverse runs from the E in REGINA around to the I in ELIZABETH.  The missing part is a very thin crescent shape very much like the new moon.  Bought it not quite sure if it was real or not but when I looked at it closer when I got it home it's clear there's some fish-tailing of the legends around the missing coin area.  This indicates metal flow towards the missing coin region when the coin was struck.

For pg1

The 1946 penny is super unusual, that would be worth a “pretty penny”
OMG you would be laughing if it was a 1925, or a 1930! The ultimate error.

And the 20c is cool too, just imagine if it was a wavy 20c
