What do people think of this 1 cent clip ?
At first glance it looked genuine but after a closer inspection i'm not so sure.
the edges just look too rough in the clipped area & there no tapering at the rims like you see on clips.

what about the other side? No tapering is not a good sign.
Sorry PP, not my coin,apcgs slabbed it today apparently MS65RD.

HeHeHe
NOW that is going to open up a "Can of Worms" :diablo::laugh2:
It doesn't leap out as being genuine to me.
Well, from what I see there are NO factors to indicate it might genuine.
I think that the only way this would "Cross over" at PCGS is if the graders could throw it across the Freeway at Newport Beach :laugh2:
This is definatley a shed coin
Yeah,The other half actually picked this one as a bit suspect, first thing i looked at was the section between the possums nose & the rim which looks too straight to me,then the roughness of the edges,then no tapering.
But i would like the see a pic of the other side to be sure to be sure lol.
here is the link to this coin, on the apcgs site

Going to post it up in the APCGS thread on CCF (yes I am stirring the pot).
Such a quality pic tells us squat.
Can't wait for Coinaus to take a "Bite" on this on in CCF :laugh2:
I'd like to know why they don't crop "their" pics. :winkextra:
By the way this coin is owned by a new member here , the member is here to learn .:angel:
So i guess the best thing to do is find as many genuine clip pics as we can to show what to look for.

That being said , If the "New member" joined the forum at an earlier date they wouldn't have purchased/submitted this shed job.
I hope He/She is reading this thread and in future takes advantage of the Wealth of numismatic knowledge that the members on this site freely share and wont make the same mistake again.
I think this member was Royally Shafted by APCGS and "Redress" is required :ok:
From what I can gather this coin is owned by a CCF member that has the username of "Coinaus".
it is part of a 15 coin submission to APCGS and the coin was purchased from Downies .
MMMMMMMMMMMMM
I wouldn't think Downies would list this a clip error somehow.

Hello Paul,
Welcome to the forum. I believe I've spoken to you on the phone. I'd like to see bigger images of the coin before we all get too excited. If it does prove to be a dud I'd be asking APCGS for a refund and showing them this article:
How to pick a real clipped planchet error (http://www.australian-threepence.com/blog/2012/06/how-to-determine-if-a-clipped-planchet-error-is-real.html)
Sorry that it looks like you've had a bad experience with that coin!
:wavemulticolor: Swan dollar welcome to forum .
When you get it back from apcgs (vomit) takes some better photos and post on here , the expert errorheads will give a nay or yay . By the way here's the ebay listing http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Australia-1989-Clipped-Planchet-ERROR-1-Cent-Coin-/151234930691?pt=AU_Coins2&hash=item23364de803&nma=true&si=QewikQmb%252BU5sf264JjxeNCm9DEo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Yes that's the one or dealer I brought this from
your link beyy is a much better photo of the coin
so swan (and welcome) - you bought the raw coin then submitted it to that apcgs mob for grade and slabbing?
so you have those costs on top of your original purchase ?

Hi Paul,
:welcome: to TACF. :yahoo:
Yes robbie gal. .
It's still at apcgs but will post better pic when I get it back...
And Thank you guys for the welcomes. .
Just a little intro ..
I have been collecting for a couple of years and still green .. and I only collect decimal coins ..
I have a few Good coin and bad coins and now may be a fake..
I started collecting 50 cent circulated coins years ago then three years ago I started getting proof coins and the last six months start buying high value coins ..
Normally have no problems but this one has tried me up..
Thank you for accepting me..
Cheers paul
:welcome: Paul.!!

Thank you unicorn for the link
Some one just pointed out to me it's not a perfect radius clip..
What I am trying to say is one cent coin would not fit in where the part is missing
Spot on Paul, thats what my Mrs first picked up on & the metal was too shiny around the edges she said lol , i checked it out & everything snowballed from there when i started this thread.
Sorry it looks like you've been shafted on this coin but stick around & you'll learn & vast amount from the knowledgable people here & if your not sure on anything just ask.
BTW :welcome: to the Forum.
Well fellas now that we have bigger images I think it's real. The RDM on the truncation of the portrait has slid towards the missing region of the coin (well spotted PPH), the top line of the Z is noticeably thinned due to radial metal flow, and there's noticeable tapering of the rims near the missing regions of the coin.
As to the curve not being a pure curve, well they often are not. You'll find that the the flat parts of the coin (the fields) flow outwards to fill the clipped area faster than the points of high relief. Presumably because more of the metal flows to fill the die rather than flowing outwards. And this is exactly what I am seeing here.

:laugh2: Good one uni lol :angel:.............Welcome Paul
The cent has tapering on the inside edge of the rim where it meets the clip. Probably genuine based on that (could be expertly faked), grade though might be high, so could decimal experts chime in.
What a lot of BS.
The new images show a doctored image IMHO.
The original images (see page 1 of this thread) show irregular marks and bright highlights which are indicative of post mint activity on this coin .
Waiting for Nancy to kick in on this :angel:

??? The new images are from the eBay listing. It's a real clip.
You've got me intrigued Mark.
A comparison of the reverse is interesting.
The red arrows show what appear to be 'dings' that flatten out the high points.
But the most interesting part I can now see are the hollows that are along the top of all the left hand side whiskers. (Yellow arrows). These extend quite to a large section of each whisker and add to the theory of a lack of metal in that area. ie: There not being enough to form the rounded top of each whisker.
(http://www.australian-coins.net/gallery/albums/userpics/11067/blake1.jpg)
Good observations Uni. Adds support to the coin being a real error.
Thanks guys
I am new and from this coin I have learnt heaps of tell tail signs for future purchase... the blakleys effect.. The fish tails of the lettering... the rim being bent over near the clip.. aswell as the fields flowing while under pressure in the minting press oh and the marks on the opposite side..
I am so glad now joining this fourm..
Thanks guys...
Cheers paul
The right hand top whisker has definitely has been tampered with..
Just a theory the left hand side whiskers ( where the yellow arrows are ) could the deformation be caused by this field flowing theory ( while under pressure and because there is no rim touching the collet the metal stretches into a less frictional area ) ..
I am unsure ...

Sorry trout, but no comment from me on this one. What I know about clips would fit on a pin head. :angel: I think I might have 3 at the most.
regardless
I do not believe that APCGS have the numismatic expertise to have made a fully informed or expert opinion on such an error, let alone on grading Australian coins both pre and post decimal
they shed a cloud of distasteful shame on the good will of the numismatic community in this country and of the faith that the buying public place on purchasing packaged coins that the legitimate third party grading companies supply to the world market place
they are as fake as their copy cat packaging

Paul, I sincerely apologise for causing such a stir but i genuinely thought as most of us did that you had been had,i'm very glad that in the end you have not.
I whole heartedly agree with what Robbie has said in her previous post.

I am happy that a new member hasn't been diddled with a dud coin. I had a my mis-givings with it too. And I think Robbie summarised the core of the matter here better than I've seen anyone do it.
