Guaranteed genuine, the rounding edges of the (corner of the) clip say a lot for it.
Nice score. A pity it wasn't 1968.

I have a clip on a 1968 1c but it isn't of the same size as this one. Its straight as well, not as interesting as the curved ones.

Enworb, it seems like you have a little bit of everything! Sometimes I think I get a little jealous, other times I think...thank god my excessive addiction hasn't gone too far, but every now & then for some of my coins, they're off to the chopping block (or ebay as others know it). |

These days, I reckon most of the obvious error coins are probably intercepted by staff of the Security Companies.  The Security Companies probably get their batches of coins by the hundreds of thousands, and possibly even millions, so they would be the first 'port of call' as it were for the errors to be noticed.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

 Yes Enworb, I'd be quite happy to count by hand, roll and bag by hand and even take my work home with me! Not sure how the pay would end up .... I'd probably have to give them some ....  |

Its real and probably worth $15-30 IMO. The fishtailing is quite obvious, nice photo.

Back when these were minted they were released for sure. I've found them in bulk lots of 1c an 2c and I know someone who worked in the bank in the late 70's who found quite a few in mint rolls. I think quality control has improved because I havent seen any recent clips.

You can get clips in rolls. It's the broadstrikes, off centre's and partial collars that get picked up by security companies and their rolling machines.
edit: oh yeah nice fishtailing, definitely genuine.
