    Very nice. I just found what I would consider a clip today when I was organizing all the pennies I pulled from circulation. Would you be upset it I posted a picture of it in this thread?

    It's real. If you look directly across the coin from the clip, you'll find a weak spot on the rim. This is called the Blakesley Effect which is one way to tell if it's a real clip:

    Thank you abe. I just flipped it about two minutes ago. So I guess that was a good find for me!
