I have two triple clipped 25c coins, mint state grades, in PCGS error holders, that I put out at coin shows for $125 each (and they have not sold, yet, note that $75 of that is the PCGS grading). Raw, your coin is worth about $40, assuming a MS-63 grade or so, PCGS graded, it would be worth about $100... PCGS graded and MS-65 or higher grade, then you might get $150 for it...
For it to be worth more than $100 as a raw error coin, the clip sizes would have to be considerably larger...

yes PMD in my opinion, because the coin is bent... detaches look legit though. |

I'm not a pro, but it just doesn't look right to me.

Ok fellows:
the coin itself is NOT bent!, just deformed a bit right at the rim where the cut occurred. what you "see as bent" is a distortion by the light and lens position. I can make any coin to look bent with just positioning the lens and light in a certain way.
However, this was not done here. the effect you call bent is nothing but a coincidental camera / light influx effect.

I haven't seen enough clips to really know my stuff. But the clips don't look elliptical enough to be caused by another blank.

The shape of a clip on a clipped planchet can be slightly warped when striking. The one on the right (above Regina) looks legit to me, from the details thinning out toward the clip and the presence of the Blakesley effect. I'm not too sure with the other one. If you can post close-ups of that clip like you did with the other, it may help.
My only clipped planchet is too circulated to compare the edge to yours.

See castor's pic above for what I was referring to when I typed: Quote:
The clip doesn't match the size of the planchet |

It is a legit double clipped coin, albeit with what looks like minor ejection damage on the edge. SlurExe97 nailed it by noting that there sometimes is distortion from the strike...

There's no doubt about the authenticity.. I see 3 very clear Blakesley effects. In my opinion
