1960NYGiants Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 02/06/2025 10:09 am Looks like an 1813 NS-21A4 with a flaw at the date. Relatively common with a value of about $5 CAD in that condition. The clip appears to be a vise job. LM of RCNA Member of CATC Edited by 1960NYGiants 02/06/2025 10:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 02/06/2025 10:25 am The marks made by the "clip" do not seem as worn as the underlying coin, so I would assume they came after minting. Report this Post to the Staff

MTTJ New Member Canada 21 Posts	Posted 02/10/2025 09:45 am Sorry about the typo in the title, its definitely 1813. Can anyone share the features that you look for to identify an incomplete clip since the consensus seems to be that this is not genuine? The indent in this coin is affected by the pitting the same as the rest of the coin, which to me indicates its also old, if not original to the coin. There is tapering to the features and to the indent that looks the same to me as legitimate incomplete clips. There is no material pushed past the intended diameter of the coin which I would think would happen in a vise job(the material has to go somewhere). There is no "squishing" of the letters that the indent cuts through. I'm struggling to think of what could be used that would be so thin yet strong to cut unto the coin without causing other damge. Thanks for any input Report this Post to the Staff

Since some people are undecided, does anyone have an opinion on what it would be worth if it is legitimate? I don't plan on selling it anytime soon, just like to fill my knowledge base.
