Do you have a question about your 1983 incomplete planchet (clipped) error?

 

yes, the clipped planchette and its still 2.6,maybe its a copper 1983 right

 

maybe its a 3.0 or 3.1 rare copper 1983

 

if its a clipped planchett and copper is cut off of it, then it should be 2.3 no,but instead its supposed to be 2.5 or 2.6 in a full coin, but since its clipped it should take weight off,and since my penny is 2.6 and clipped it should be heavier, understand now

 

How do we know it's what you say it is? Huh? Also, why are you concerned about the weight?
I don't understand, it's just a normal penny that happens to be an Incomplete planchet error. Nothing more. JMO.

 

Maybe it is just a thick planchet?

 

If your coin's weight ran on the heavy side of the specification it could still be
mid-specification even with the 2 small clips in it.

 

Since the scale you are using has a resolution of .1gram ( such as 2.6 or 2.7 ). On a better scale it probably weighs 2.65, so the position of the scale or dust or fingers leaving something on it . .01 gram extra sends it to 2.7 , .01 gram removed sends it to 2.6. A scale with measurement to 3 places ( .001 grams ) is preferred if weight is important. Jim

 

In an incomplete planchet no metal is ever cut off. It was a planchet that was cut to close to the previous cut planchet on the coin stock sheet. Planchets are never clipped. They just call them that because it looks like they were.

 

I AM TRYING TO SAY, IT MIGHT BE A 3.0 COPPER 1983 CENT, CAUS IT WAS CLIPPED AND THAT TAKES AWAY WEIGHT DONT IT, AND ITS NOT A COMPLET 1983 CENT, CAUS 2.5 OR 2.6 IS REGULAR BUT METAL CUT OFF MIGHT HAVE MADE THE PENNY BE A 3.0 OR 3.1 COPPER 1983 WHICH IS VERY RARE,UNDERSTAND NOW GUYS

 

We can’t say as there are no photos of the coin. How much of the coin is missing? Is your scale correctly calibrated? Is the planchet thicker than normal? Was it coated more than once? We need nice clear full size photos of both sides to help you and not photos of the coin on a computer screen.

 

Zinc planchets are plated after they are cut. You show a photo of the small clip
from the edge and i can see no cut and shear on it.
I do not think your coin it is struck on a copper planchet due to the reason of
not seeing cut and shear on clipped edge of coin.
Please show the edge of the large clip.

 

WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?
NO NEED TO YELL!

 

Not yelling forgot to change the font back lollllllllll

 

Savatore, The math does not support your 3.00 grams as a 2.5 is a loss of approximately 17% whereas the amount of coin missing is much smaller than that
amount, IMO Jim

 

so what do you think big guy, do u think since coin was planchette cut the 2.6 i hav of a 1983 can be a 3.1 copper cent, the rare one im talking about

 

do u think since coin was planchette cut the 2.6 i hav of a 1983 can be a 3.1 copper cent, the rare one im talking about, caus of the cutoff metal

 

so if it wont be 3.0 or 3.1, then if the copper wasnt cut off the penny might be 2.9 thats close enough for a copper cent right everyone
