ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 4:05 pm Notice the metal flow on IN and G. That's a great indicator of an authentic clip. Is there also a smaller clip above the R of TRUST? As to the rarity, I too would agree that the 1944s are very common, if not the most common Wheat cent to find with a clip. Common being a relative term. Report this Post to the Staff
bumma Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 5:05 pm I thank you for your responses. Though it is common I'm excited as it is the first error of this kind that I have found and it came from pocket change! ErrorCoins222, the area above the R is most definitely PMD. It appears to be a crushing injury... Thanks Again! Report this Post to the Staff
ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 6:40 pm Could you get a closer picture of the area above the R? Everything looks right about it from the photos. A lot of clips are so small that it may seem like there isn't any missing metal when in actuality the clip was just that minuscule. Report this Post to the Staff
bumma Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 10:08 pm I'll see what I can do when I get out of work in the morning. My photography equipment isn't the best right now. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
