What do y’all thing about this? Not white fsb but close. These aren’t my thing. What’s it worth?

    I would say yes. Have you tried fitting another dime into the clip to see if it matches?

    It appears to be a genuine mint-made clip and the clip is quite substantial. I don't know the value of this niche market, but the coin has a very dramatic look.

    Yes, that's a legitimate clip. The blakesley effect and metal flow along the clip are present.

    Maybe $20 or $25?

    Good answer, I completely agree. 100% a legit Mint error and should easily sell for that price. Nice find.

    there's no 'matching piece' that goes with that clip.

    Like the coin very much. Glad the clip does not affect the date.

    Anyone interested in this thing? I’ve got this one tons of wheats with as dramatic clips or other errors. A blank quarter planchet silver and a Roosevelt with a similar clip

    Do you have any clipped Morgans?

    Put up a post in the BST Forum, you will likely find someone there who will take it off your hands.
