Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 07/15/2012 10:57 am It's listed as having a retail value of $3 at this site: http://www.coinscan.com/mintingvari...t/clipp.html A coin dealer might give you $1 for it. It's an interesting find in pocket change - I would keep it. ~ JFK ~ Report this Post to the Staff

Mechman Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 07/15/2012 12:35 pm I thought that error came with damage to the opposite end of the coin too. I don't see it. Am I wrong? I'm just here to learn. Happy collecting. Edited by Mechman 07/15/2012 12:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Minhsun Valued Member Canada 74 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 10:15 pm I wonder will that be someone clipped afterward ? Report this Post to the Staff
pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 07/17/2012 05:52 am That opposite rim damage you're talking about is called the "Blakesley effect". And yes, while almost all true clipped coins have this marking, every once in a while you run across genuine examples without it. I'd have to see some close-ups of the edge of the clip and both sides near the clip to be sure about this one. Is there any "flow" to the metal right near the clip -- especially to the denticles and beads? From the pictures shown your coin looks pretty good to me, but a closer examination would confirm or deny. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
Double J Valued Member Canada 409 Posts	Posted 07/25/2012 11:49 pm I have a quick question, I have a penny(that I can scan if need be) that is clipped. The clip is straight though and I notice that most legit clips are circular. Is it possible that I have a rare penny or is it most likey PMD? Report this Post to the Staff
