I think these are "fake" clips, but I bought 'em anyhow (8 pics-Merc & Buff)

AskRaq

You tell me please... Post Mint clips I'm guessing - paid 3 bucks a piece anyhow because I don't have any clipped coins.

Buffalo Nickel:

Fakes, and terrible ones at that.

sorry bud, you paid $3 a piece for someones culls they damaged probably with intent to deceive.

What a waste of coins.

Bochiman

Way fake!
I just don't get why someone who "thinks" something is a fake will reward a seller by buying, at any price above melt, the damaged items.....

AskRaq

Well, the answer to that is: It was for the kids (and there were no genuine examples at the show to be had)... so I buckled. At least I took it off the market full well knowing what it was, and someone else didn't end up getting shafted!

To take pictures to learn and to teach others and to give to coin clubs to learn .
Sure havent' seen some big dealer give them up to the clubs .
I see them selling them.
Have you been to a Mich coin show lately ? I see more crap out there
than anything.
Seen some of these dealers selling fakes all the time, then rude to new comers to the hobby to.
And im still not a pro at metal flow so i try and get some for learning to show off.
Hopfullly at very low cost.

Jeez! Those don't even qualify to be called clips!

You'd have been better off buying the realy thing. Visit some shows and shops, eventually you'd have found what you were looking for.

PM Me Raq. I have a Connecticut quarter thats the real thing.

These are more expensive than the few coins you bought, but if you feel a burning desire for more clipped coins or if your friends are envious of the ones you have, you can make more and recoup the price of the tool.



Sperical knob cutter for bonsai.............or coins, I guess.

Actually, you still don't have any clipped coins! Be careful of certain impulse buys, be patient, they're out there.

I just finished a 10-year wait to get a Fugio... now I have a really nice one. Heck, for $6 you could probably even get a small genuine clip.

<< <i> Heck, for $6 you could probably even get a small genuine clip. >>



If I coulda, I woulda... but the kids thought they were cool even though I told 'em they were fake (IMO).

(And I actually found the wierd marks above the cut on the reverse of the Buffalo kinda interesting)


Plus it gave me another chance to practice my photography skills in a new way!

Ah well... I ain't cryin over the money down the drain (kinda like the $20 you blow on a stupid game at the fair to win a 50-cent, piece of crap, stuffed toy)

Phoney baloney- sorry.

I'd offer to give you a real one as a consolation, but I can't remember if I still have any or not.

I used to have a fairly low grade clipped 1925 Wheatie- if it is still around, it's yours. But I might've sold it.

The education is coming - the PM was sent days ago, and I actually meant to send a little package out today, but I got distracted by the twins last night and forgot to pack them up. Next time I'm at the PO will be Monday, so by this time next week you'll know what a real clip looks like.

Here is a chance at a free Roman coin, anyway.
