Clipped planchet question

Here's some closer photo's,

trout but it does show some blakesly effect. Tough one this.

There is no doubt in my mind that this coin is genuine,after you have "THE Professionals" have a look at it could you please let us know what they say Ingine.

Is the imitated blakesley with a light hammer tap trout?

If I saw trouts photo on eBay I would buy it as genuine. If that is manufactured then quite possible this 10c is.

Other than it looking like cut marks how could the double clip right next to each other be explained?

If it was the end of a sheet it would have one clip. If it was the corner the clips would have 90 degrees between them.

I dont want to bag the coin too much in the likely case im wrong, have no clue and shouldve kept my mouth closed. Interesting to see what the experts say

I am loving the work Trout is putting out of his shed in recent days. It also reminds me that I have to get a coin framed that started the whole illegal to alter a coin law :-)

Oh dear!

I hope no Federal Police officer is a coin collector who likes this forum.
