    Struck through and straight clipped planchets question

    Do struck through cotton and str8 clipped planchets carry any premiums?

    Yes they do. The amount of the struck through area and the size of the clip are factors in determining the amount of premium.

        1. 1997 D nickel well looks like it -struck through cotton? looks like cotton marks on obverse
        2. 2002 D dime- struck through grease? I found this dime in change, as i grab this dime ive noticed that it was kinda of greasy was wondering why but back then i was still new at this didnt know what struck through grease coins were. Anyways i started to rub it more then i noticed that this was some kind of error, ended up rubbing the whole area off by accident LOL. It looks like its sanded but surface is very smooth i mean very smooth like slippery smooth and still till now u can feel the grease. Also the area is sort of indented the obverse looks normal.
        3 and 4 are str8 clips any premiums?
        5. 1946 P lamination error reverse any premium?

            The next to the last one is a small curved clip and the last one is a lamination. The others are not mint errors but have been damaged. The two that are errors have a small premium value.

              So the nickel and dime arent errors? It was all greasy and the torch area was there till i rub it off unknowingly. The nickel looks like a struck through cotton with post mint damage. Here are some other angles but if u say they arent then I believe u.

                The only two possible error coins are the 1934 Lincoln cent with a curved clip and the Lincoln cent reverse with a lamination peal.

                The nickel has been subjected to a corrosive agent that has deteriorated the metal.
