Nicknamed 'Texas Cents'
It's a genuine clip - I can see the correct 'punch and tear' marks inside the clip area. That's one of the authentication points for a clipped...
As mentioned, that's a 'hit' on the left side of the MM. PMD, we call it......
It's a man-made novelty item. Drop it on any hard surface, and you'll hear a different sound than if you dropped a regular cent. It will have a...
Chris - believe me, I've had my share, and then some, of people who don't believe me at a coin show, online, on phone calls, etc. when I examine...

Sorry, but those little 'flakes' are not rim burrs. They don't disappear when the coin circulates. Just a minor striking anomaly, like so many...
I said that I don't see any die chip or die break. If you see, in-hand, a micro-fracture, that's fine. I just dont' see a chip or break, based...
OK, I don't see it in all the photos.
No
I'll wait for Mike to tell us what it is.
There's no die chip there. If so, you would see the raised metal between the letters BE in all of the photos - look at #4 & #5 - no raised...
