Genuine ?

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.

It doesn't leap out as being genuine to me.

purplepennyhunter · August 01, 2014, 06:16:07 PM

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.

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.
