papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1923 Posts	Posted 01/05/2018 1:09 pm I purchased this coin some time ago it has been through a rough life and could use some TLC. I haven't seen a lot of coins from the Victoria series in any denomination with a clipped planchet here's my only one do you have any? I'm not trying to say its rare or a saught after coin its only a conversation piece Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 01/05/2018 6:07 pm I am having real trouble convincing myself that the original coin posted in this thread is a legit clip. The rims should dovetail into the clip and the denticles are usually almost non-existent where they occur next to the clip (the missing metal in the "clip" prevents this). Here is a legit large cent straight clip, in an Edward VII large cent. Look at where the rim runs into the clip...

It does not look like a clip from the mint. Also, the second example posted by Fourmack looks too regular to be authentic. Edited by Scissel 01/05/2018 6:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1923 Posts	Posted 01/05/2018 9:24 pm SPP the edge at the clip is not beveled looks sharp like edge obverse and reverse and flat rim it looks nothing like the one you posted. I was wondering if it was authentic as I have never seen any before in Victoria or Edward for that matter but with your pictures of your coin and explanation on it I see what you mean by the edge leading to clip Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 01/05/2018 10:00 pm Sorry Don, I have to disagree. The examples shown in the link you posted have the dovetailing on the rims, that is most important diagnostic feature I look for in any clip. The Victorian coins in this thread do not.
