Yes! it does, that is an amazing find, i have roll searched for 2 years straight and never found a clipped planchet. good find :icon_thumleft:

redbook states that it is worth about 5$ but most people are willing to pay probably a little more than that (like 7-10$) overall good find! :hello2:

I have no clue as to what a clipped planchet is :dontknow:

I see a coin missing a piece and I would say its value is $0.09 cents due to the missing piece :laughing9:

Maybe take it to a coin dealer and have it checked. :icon_thumleft:

It happens when the planchets are being cut out... I guess you can picture it like a giant batch of cookies being cut. Picture a big sheet of cookie dough as the big metal sheet the coin blanks are cut from. If you cut a cookie in one area, but don't move your cutter down enough, you'll leave a sort of a cresent-shape cut at the top of the next cookie. If that makes sense...
