tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 10/16/2022 01:30 am A lot of errors get picked out of circulation fast, as they can be pretty obvious to spot. Minor clips seems to be the exception, as there are many examples of circulated wheat cents with small clips. But this one strikes me a fairly decent-sized for no one to have grabbed it all the while it was moving around getting that worn down. 1929 Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - straight clip with ragged edge Report this Post to the Staff

That ragged edge is a nice confirmation. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96207 Posts	Posted 10/16/2022 11:03 am Maybe not 'clipped' per-se, but it was on the rough edge of the sheet of copper. Pretty nice find .

Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 10/16/2022 12:48 pm Nice one. Hard to say for sure with this level of circulation wear, but there might be a little weakness on the rev rim across from this clip.

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 10/16/2022 3:31 pm Find find on the straight clip or end of strip error. I find a few clips in every bag of 5K Wheat cent. So you are right that they don't get saved for some reason. Report this Post to the Staff
