1944 Red Cent Clipped

So I ran across this nice cent while searching some old bank wrapped rolls of wheaties. It was in with a bunch of other reds but it appears to be clipped. Any thoughts? I belive it to be a ragged clipped planchet myself, but I am having a hard time putting a value on it. I don't think it is worth quite enough to get graded, but I also think it is worth more than a few dollars. I would really appreciate any help on identifying the error and placing a value on it.

Thanks as always!

Looks like someone testing out their "pinking shears" then pounding it over to the obverse!! Must be some serious scissors!!

 

It doesn't look like an actual error to me. I'd be interested to see what others say.

 

I thought the same thing. A ragged clip would look like this...

I'm not buying the story - 1st 2 pics ain't the same but have the same type damage!! Proverbial - "can't pull the wool over our eyes" !!

 

And second 2 pics of the reverse are the same pic!!

 

Both of the pictures show the same coin. See what appears to be a die crack on the shoulder? It's also on the 2nd picture but harder to see because of the lighting.

Edit: I mean it's harder to see on the first picture than the second picture.

 

Thanks, that obviously doesn't look anything like what I have. Its a pitty if someone did use a tool on it. I was worried about those serrations. Don't think this could be from a machine at the mint?

 

Yeah I was trying to get a good picture of that, but it was hard once it was in the 2*2. One of the pictures was with my flash and one was without.

 

don't think so. The machine that punches out the blanks is just that...a punch...it forces a round metal rod through the metal sheet effectively sheeting the metal so there aren't any serrations.

 

Yes - small die crack - but not a mint produced clip liked asked about in the first place!

 

ah Markus, always the skeptic LOL,

 

Thanks I appreciate the response.

 

I wasn't saying the coin was an error. I was only pointing out that both pictures were of the same coin.

 

Well , remember the old proverb? Believers are suckers unless someone can prove what they are believing in - or not!!

 

Strictly in reply to Markus' youtube post...it would have been funnier if you had used this

 

Oh hell - now i'm gonna get a bunch of - "He's got a chip on his shoulder" comments - Damn it Jim, I'm just a doctor

 

man I know a whole bunch of suckers
