    Hello all. While seaching through a Wheat Cent stash I came across a couple with small clips.
    I wanted to run them by you all to see if they are legitimate clips or PMD.

    There are 3 total
    1941, 1944 and a 1945

    Thanks all:)

    From those angles they look like genuine clips (incomplete planchets) to me.

    Look good to me.
    You can see the Blakesely Effect on the 45.
    Not so much on the 44 but I don't see a reason to doubt it.

    Even the latest photos show them to all be genuine.

    It’s difficult to do with a small clip but take one of the larger clips and put another cent in the clip. It should fill the spot. That’s why they are called incomplete planchets. :)

    Posting photos of the edge, showing the area, would be helpful also. Those have endured circulation of many years, so worn almost smooth.
