Hi,I scored this 1979 20 cent clip & when I was checking it out I noticed the really distinctive fishtailing on the letters at the clip site.

That's a really really nice clip! I haven't really noticed the fishtailing on mine although I know it is a good indicator of a genuine clip. Its probably obvious on yours because its such a high grade. I'm trying to get one for every denomination at the moment. I have the 1/2d, 1d, florin, 1c and 50c so still have a fair way to go.

I think I started out trying to get one of everything to Enworb,i don't think I have a 5 cent yet but have 2 or several of everything esle.

Thanke Ozcoins,Little bit of a shame it has those 2 spots in front of Lizzie's mouth & nose but yes it is a beauty.

Here is another clip i'd never seen before now,20 cent federation,only a small clip but it's a keeper too.
