I have this 1974 P Lincoln Cent that has been circulated. Can anyone tell from this scan if this is actually a clipped planchet or just a wounded cent? I can't see any grindings around the damaged area that suggests going through machinery or anything, but then, i am new to this..

Thanks folks..

Its hard to tell. mIt looks like a small <5% clip if it is. But still a nice coin!

It looks wounded but could be as the nut said. tease.gif

Looks like a very small clip.

It's unlikely that damage that removed the edge would not leave other signs on the coin, so I am going with a clip. Nice find.
