Hello...I found these two coins back in the 60's and never have shown them to anyone. I think these are mint errors - a ragged edge and a clip - but wanted to see what others thought. Thank you.
I'm not sure about either because of the blurry images. Try posting clear photos of both sides of each coin. Chris
Try putting a separate cent into or over the curved 'clip' and see if it exactly follows the curve ( possible real clip) or doesn't ( man made to simulate such ).
The pictures are a little rough to be totally positive, but the curved clip appears to exhibit the expected flatness across from the clip. I can't tell for sure about the metal flow. I, personally, would not expect a totally true curve on a clip of that size. Some distortion would probably be expected resulting in a small, curved "peak". Actually, I think both are probably good, but can's say for sure.
