1944 Wheaty clip

Yeah,I know how straight clips are viewed but hey I found it so I can post it. If anybody knows how to make a cut with texture like this I’d love to know how

That's actually a sloppy cut.

If you've ever dealt in jewelry design and hand making, or in metals you can easily cut segments out.

Plus that is a straight cut not a curved cut. I can't recall, but with coins and circles being involved, it should be a curved clip. but I'm no expert on clips.

It looks like someone got creative after it left the mint. Not a Clip

 

Just a hack job.

 

It's not straight enough to be a straight clip.
It's not round enough to be a round clip.
It's too ragged to be a clip of any kind.
It's a penny that's been altered after leaving the mint.
It's worth one cent.

 

I agree.. Not a true clip

 

Nope! But there are straight clips btw. Mike Diamond and Fred Wienberg go over this very thoroughly on their website. Great reading!

 

I think someone took a bite out of that coin after it left the mint.

 

Plus I see NO evidence of the Blakesley Effect.
