Coin and Paper Money Collecting/1975 CENT clipped

Question
Hi, I have a 1975 CENT that is clipped from 10 - 12 o'clock around the
coin. I was wondering what it worth

Answer
Hello Azad,                    

This clipping is more common than you might think. A coin missing from 10% to 25% yet retaining the date is more valuable than some others with smaller clips or the date missing.
But its value cataloged from only three to five dollars for a One Cent coin. You may get as much as 10 from an error collector looking for this.

There is no set price list for error coins. But they sell to error collectors who decide what they will pay for them, not coin collectors.  For these errors it will be less than five dollars.  
It would have to be seen by a coin dealer to decide how it may have happened.  
If you want give me the nearest large Cities, some postal zip codes and telephone area codes I will refer you to an expert in your area.

Thank You and Good Luck
