daggit Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hi experts, is this clip from the mint or has it been alltered and how do you tell either way? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 it's hard to tell on this one...The rim looks funny all the way around....is there a way to get a larger pic of of the big clip...as well as a shot of the clipped edge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggit Posted April 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 I wasn't able to get the edge yet, does this help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 I would have to say from those pictures that yes that is a clip. Notice the ridge just inside the rim....see how it slowly fades out instead of just being sharply cut off. You can also see how the little dots that are on the edge show the same kind of stuff. If a coin was cut you would expect it to just end...not fade nice clip looks like a double...maybe even a tripple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received the cent in change yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 It can be done...but it is difficult to get it right...and usually someone wouldn't waste their time on a cent...just to put into circ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
