I love collecting error coins, and my line of specialty is all clips on all U.S. coin series. I work as the apprentice for</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">a P.N.G. dealer and part time in a local coin shop, so I do a lot of sorting of coins of all kinds. The bulk of it is low grade Wheaties, Buffalo </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">Nickels, and Liberty Nickels. Why is coin sorting fun? Most people in there right minds who pass out at the mere thoughts of organizing </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">bulk coins like those above by date, mint, etc. I,being an error coin collector, keep my eyes pealed for clips whenever I get a big sorting </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">task to complete. Well, my patience payed off, because I discovered not 1, but 3 potential Buffalo clips, and the real prize was two V nickel </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">clips in decent grades. They are the main topic of discussion here because I specialize in V nickels among other things, and was utterly </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">thrilled to have found both of these remarkable clips. </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The fun all started when I was sorting about 15,000 nickels from Shield to Jefferson in every grade under the sun. I had coffee can</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">after coffee can practically exploding with coins screaming SORT ME! Ok, that was a little bit exaggerated, but you get the idea. So as I was </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">sorting them, I kept my eyes pealed for dates and grades, but also if I saw something resembling a clip, however small it may have been, I set</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">it aside. The two biggest finds out of the whole batch was two V nickels pictured below. Enjoy the following pictures and keep looking because</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">clips are still out there! Both of these coins look better in hand and my scanner does not do them proper justice. </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">&nbsp;&nbsp; The one coin is a 1907 grading VF and displays two clips: 2% curved at 1 o&#039;clock and 1% straight at 4 o&#039;clock. A double clip V nickel is very</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">rare and worth in the range of $75 to $100 as far as retail pricing goes. </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">&nbsp; The second coin is an 1896 grading choice Very Good. The coin display a 1% clip at 8 o&#039;clock. This coin is worth in the range of $35 to $50 retail</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="arial">and is a great type coin error.&nbsp; </font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
