Years of roll searching has turned up a lot of coins for my Buffalo varieties and errors book. But lately, I've had some doubts whether these four are genuine clips. Lack of Blakesley effect considering size of clip, etc. Knew I'd get some answers here. Thanks in advance.

    Some are clips for sure! It helps to see the edge inside the clip for the other.

    I look for metal flow on real clips

    Yes, weakness at the edges because very often the "Blakesley Effect" is missing.

    They all look legit to me.
