Still no help

[conleytheking]

Went to a coin shop and had my double clipped half looked at. He said it was real...but just told me to look up the value in a red book. The book only offers a price for a single clip...that being $25. So...still don't know what to think of it.

Sell some of your 40%ers and have it sent off to get slabbed, maybe that would give you a better idea on value? Then you may be able to take it to a coin show and see what the offers look like.

sweet double clip man! I do not know much on errors, but from what I hear, double clipped coins are worth considerably more than a single clip. I have a double clipped nickel, a few single clipped pennies dimes and nickels, they just go in my "oddities" pile along with a bunch of other "keepers"

-"keepers" referring to the non-silver, non-wheat pile with anything I come across that is unusual, usually errors and extremely worn coins.

I'd check Ebay. It can be a good source for values on stuff like this. Cool find!

if one clip is around 25 a double may go fer 50 ? if it had 3 sell fer 75 etc......

I looked on eBay. No double clipped halves at all.

A 1971D double clip that's just as nice as yours sold for $48 on ebay. A beat up and not very clipped 1999P sold for $8.

So, my opinion, the market right now is probably about $30-$45 range, and probably not worth getting slabbed. Borderline though, you could probably get an almost 100% return on the fee.

My guess is that the proportion of double clip coins to single clip coins should roughly be similar to the proportion of single clip coins to normal coins.

Therefore, since a single clip coin is worth 50 times face value, it would not be unreasonable to think that a double clip coin is worth 50 times what a single clip coin lists for--at least as a starting point. $1250.

Now, figuring out the demand is another thing. Perhaps someone would buy it for 20% of that. I don't think $250 is unreasonable for such a dramatic error.

I think the 1999 "clip" is just PMD.

Error coin collectors are a small and finicky bunch, they will pay big for what they like. Not like silver, which has a pretty much set price no matter what it is 35%, 40%, 90%, .925,.975 etc, etc, Find the right person, sit on it till you can get the price you think it should bring. Dig your coin, man.

 

[sagittarius98]

Dig your coin, man.

Are you suggesting that the CTK should MD his coins, to maintain authenticity?

Sag - You are reading too much into it. Frankendime just "digs" CTK's coin. In other words, he admires it.
