I need better focus at ET IND: IMP: before I can give an opinion.

Zonad - There doesn't appear to be Blakesley Effect. I'll take a shot if you think it's worthwhile, but the consensus seems to be PMD! |

The rims don't quite dovetail right for me to be convinced it is genuine...

I would not dismiss this one as quickly as others have.

I see nothing from the pictures shown that suggest this is an elliptical clip. No Blakesley, no flow lines, rim areas at clip are wrong and it appears the field is slighly raised along clip line evidencing that metal was pushed upward from planchet at time coin was damaged.

If it is not legit, it fools me quite well.
I've seen incomplete clips - no Blakesley, no rim deviation, no odd flow at the edges. If one of these incomplete clips is severed from the rest of the coin, the result is something similar as the coin in question.
The area of the rim behind the "F" is what makes me think this is the real thing.

ty.....not sure what you see behind the "F" but if that is what you are "hanging your hat on", seems pretty weak as compared to what it doesn't have.

I would want to see the coin in hand. I see nothing that would guide me to a PMD conclusion. |

I agree that not having the coin in hand is a real disadvantage in this case.

I stumbled across this coin before heading to the ONA show yesterday so I decided to bring it. John R thought at first it might be legitimate, but after putting it under the scope was able to see some marks indicating that it was filed down.
