JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21630 Posts	Posted 03/17/2019 1:21 pm A clip would have either a straight or semi circle edge. Looks like you can see zinc showing on the edge which would mean it is damage, not a ragged edge. PMD Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/18/2019 2:03 pm The best way to tell, is to look at the edge. If it were a clipped coin the edge would be plated. On your coin you can see zinc on the edge. SO it is an altered coin. Report this Post to the Staff

On your coin you can see zinc on the edge. SO it is an altered coin." This is exactly correct, and why zinc cents are perhaps the easiest clips to authenticate. The planchets were punched first, then plated, so the inside edge of any genuine clipped post-1982 cent will not show the zinc core. I have seen only one genuine ragged clip on a zinc cent, and the entire edge of that coin was plated, if I can find pictures I will share. Sean Report this Post to the Staff
