Found the biggest part of a wheat cent today

[No gold in NY]

I don't know much about error coins, but something happened to this one. Any opinions? Thanks

Looks like a possible clipped coin, but I will let the masters say for sure.

I would need to see the edge, but I'm not seeing any sign of the Blakesley effect.

Lot of work trying to get the edge, and it's cccold out there trying to get natural light

The other guys are right. That is a clipped coin. The mint did that when it was stamped, accidentally. It is worth more than a regular wheat cent. Nice.

The coin's planchet was punched out of a planchet stock sheet on the edge or end of the sheet, thus the Straight Clip and yes it is genuine as you can see the Blakesley Effect on "E Pluribus" on the Reverse.
