mcanniz Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 09/04/2015 01:20 am first, let me start by saying I'm from the United States, so I don't know much if anything about Canadian cents, although I suppose error should be similar. could this be a slight straight clip? if not, what is it?

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10468 Posts	Posted 09/04/2015 07:36 am Hard to say if it is a straight clip or a curved clip, since the collar die has turned the coin into a 12-sided coin. Since the clip does not 'cut' into the fields, I would just call it a 'rim clip' (as PCGS does with examples like this).

coincollector1 Valued Member 54 Posts	Posted 09/04/2015 1:42 pm I think it might be PMD. But of course, wait for other opinions. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2525 Posts	Posted 09/04/2015 2:05 pm It's definitely not PMD. The rim at the end of the clip tapers off, and the Blakesley effect is present. Both these indicate a real clip on this coin. Edited by Altaira 09/04/2015 2:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

robmck1967 Pillar of the Community Canada 870 Posts	Posted 09/04/2015 4:26 pm I agree. Genuine clip. They are difficult to find on pennies after 1981 so it's really a great find. Report this Post to the Staff
mcanniz Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 09/06/2015 02:03 am yay! after looking closer it is curved, and not a straight clip. what would something like this be worth? Report this Post to the Staff
