..............motivated me to go get a box and just start looking. No VDB V's yet but I found this. Amazing to me how these things can still be floating around out there for 51 years? Thanks for the incentive Tom.

    Back when I was CRH - it’s been several years - I think I would pull out a clipped cent for about every $50 I went through. Most were tiny, even smaller than yours. Yours is actually pretty large and clearly a Mint-made clip. I would imagine most folks consider them damaged without paying closer attention!

    Yes, I agree. Most folks wouldn't know what they're looking at. Still amazing if it's been floating around in circulation for 51 years! Wouldn't think anyone would intentionally throw it back.

    What am I saying?!?!? There are some major error collectors here that would probably throw something like this back into circulation! Am I right @ctf_error_coins?? 😂 🤣
