Does anyone have a 1944 Lincoln cent clip that looks like this? If so, would you mind posting it here? Thanks!

who chose the host cent?
Honestly, most 1944 clips I have seen have been a bit larger than that. They are not hard to find on any of the wartime dates, I would guess I have seen more 1944 cent clips than any other date except maybe 1972.
I also wonder if the fact that the coin was struck twice had an effect on the appearance of the clip, as it gave the planchet metal two opportunities to flow into the area of missing metal. That would make the clip look smaller than it would have after the original strike.

. Wow, from a long time ago.................

That works for me Sean. Thanks for the feedback and reality check. I absolutely agree, that second overstrike would alter, modify or manipulate that original 44 clipped cent in some way.
My motivation here would be to find an original 1944 minor clip (just like the one above), and make/create a two coin set, before and after.

Weigh it.
3.11 grams versus ?
Then you'll know how big a clip it was & is

I saw this coin in my daily eBay search, it's dated 1945 but I think the rim clip shown here is probably pretty close to what your coin looked like before the second strike.

Interesting Sean. I don't know or understand Dan's minting or overstrike process. I'm wondering, what the original 1944 cent looked like. My guess, it wasn't a 68. 😉 Was it like the 45-S you posted or could it have been a circulated 44?
And yes, a second strike would most likely altered the original clip. Also, would an overstrike on a circulated coin bring back it's original mint luster? Probably a question for @dcarr

We'll see, if @dcarr answers the question.

The 1944 Lincoln that i used was circulated. I cleaned off the gunk and patina that was on it, prior to over-striking.
The rim clip that it had was a little larger than the 1945-S rim clip shown.
