I don't think there's enough metal there, if it was a clip, to even have any rim present where the clip is. Edited by ErrorCoins222 04/07/2013 11:26 am Report this Post to the Staff
Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 04/07/2013 1:24 pm It is not a clip. There is not any signs of the Blakesley Effect on this coin which would be indicative of a clipped planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 04/08/2013 4:51 pm Sorry I didn't get back to you amida17, It's not my coin, just one I was looking at on ebay and thinking about. Thanks for the reply's, the seller did advertise it as shaved, I thought maybe if it was a clip I might go for it. Did they even have clips back then? Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/09/2013 11:55 am Post mint in my opinion. And yes they did have clips back then. In fact the 1795 cents are fairly commonly found on "clipped" planchets. Report this Post to the Staff
