Clipping, (as it was called in ancient times), is much reduced because of reeding but not eliminated. Anyone who has handled a BU coin can tell you the reeding can be very sharp and pointy. Getting a back of new coins from the bank, &quot;shaving&quot; the reeds down to what a coin would be like when circulated, and then spending the coins at face value can net entrepreneurs a little but of PM for &quot;free&quot;. I have circa 1800&#039;s coins that are full BU and very thin, cut down reeding on them. You would say the coins is BU and the reeds VG based upon their appearance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
