Clipped Coin Yes or No

[Goldseeker]

Found this one today in a parcel of 1000 50c coins.

Question:   Is it a clipped coin or not:

Could be clipped but I think it is more likely cut from the edge of the sheet.  Nice find.

Well, yeah, but that's still a clip, innit? :diablo:

Not only a nice find, but remarkably well spotted. I suspect most people would never have noticed it.

Yes it's real, looks to be end/edge of bar. You can see ramping of the metal at the base of the lettering and is that a little fishtail on the L.

Most likely the edge as it is a straight clip. End clips are more likely to be ragged.
I always look at how the rim stops at the edge of a clip. The inside edge should stop before the outside edge (like this coin).
To me it is genuine.

My bad.  I was of the view that a "clipped planchet" was one where two punches overlapped each other but I see on PCGS it only has to be an irregularly cut planchet.

Looks like a good clipped/incomplete planchet to me.

Now I can put my tools away.............no truly, I am having a really good run of finding errors and NCLT's and I trust that it will continue.
