[QUOTE="vnickels, post: 1031099, member: 25790"]Just bought 2 clips today and thought I would share advice on how to buy them. First off, there are six things to consider Denomination Position of clip Is there more than one? Type of clip Size of clip Condition of the coin Is it particularly scarce on particular date/mintmark? Take these into effect and you will have success. Now, the more clips equals the higher the price. I have a penny that is clipped twice.(one of them barely) Now, that makes it more desirable. Redbook says $3 but I paid $5. It is double clipped though. Now the Redbook is high but every error is unique. So if it is a few bucks over the book and your not buying it to make money don't hesitate to spend a few dollars more within reason. If it books for $5 and is $8 what the heck? It is still cool. Buy what you can afford. Try to buy better stuff and avoid stuff in crappy condition. And remember, enjoy numismatics![/QUOTE]
