<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ajm229, post: 55755, member: 3350&quot;]Hey everybody, I just signed up on CoinTalk today, and I&#039;d like to ask a question of our experts out there if I may:</p><p><br /></p><p>I was searching through a big box of coins my dad and I rolled up around 1993, before I really became interested in collecting (I used to simply keep the wheat cents because they were &quot;neat&quot;), and I found a cent with three curved clipstaken out of three defferent sides of the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I took this to a coin shop the other day and asked a friend who worked there if he could tell me anything about whether it was the real deal or not. He said, after examining the coin through a microscope, that he could find no evidence of tool marks or sanding off of the edge of the coin that would make it a counterfeit. </p><p><br /></p><p>So here&#039;s the question: is there anything distinct that a counterfeit clip would show under a 10X magnifying glass that I could look for, and if not, is the coin worth at least sending in someplace for authentication? Where could I send it if so?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to anyone who could give me some insight!</p><p><br /></p><p>~AJ[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
