Found this in a bulk lot I bought from auction, the clip on the coin seems way too smooth/clean to have been done by a pair of plyers or similar, I don't collect errors so I thought I would get others thoughts.

Looks like a genuine clip to me

Thanks, is it worth any more than face value?
looks the real deal to me too
i'd say it's easily over face value
sometimes you get $10-$20 for these types of errors
maybe more depending on the grade

WOW, that's good to hear, had a couple of 2 cent pieces with the same clipped appearance (although the clip is smaller) turn up in that lot. I'll take them to fee-bay if they are worth over face value :wavemulticolor:
Could be real

Its real.
"No matter what class of clip is involved, in many cases, the rim opposite the clip will be flat and poorly formed. This effect is known within the hobby as the "Blakesley effect" and occurs due to the absence of pressure in that area during the upset (or rimming) process."
