DETAILED DESCRIPTION:

This listing features a genuine 1980 Canada 1 Cent penny with a clipped planchet mint error. This type of mint error occurs during the blanking process at the mint when the metal sheet used to punch coin blanks overlaps a previously punched hole, leaving a curved portion missing from the planchet before the coin is struck.

The coin shows a clearly visible clipped edge, creating the distinctive curved shape associated with this popular mint error. The remaining design elements of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and the classic maple leaf reverse remain well defined.

Surface shows normal circulation wear consistent with age. Copper surfaces display natural toning and typical signs of handling for a circulated coin.

Key features include:
• Authentic clipped planchet mint error
• Distinct curved clip visible on the planchet
• Original copper surfaces with natural patina
• Popular collectible mint error type

Clipped planchet errors are widely collected due to their clear visual appearance and the fascinating minting process that created them.

Please review all photos carefully as they form part of the description.

Authentic mint error – not post-mint damage.
