This happened post strike . There is no fading of the design elements and no Blakesley effect at all which would be there to some extent on a clip this large.
To get a true color of the edge in question photograph the coin on a white paper background and colorballance for the background. The colorballance of these pics is off from shot to shot.

I have to agree with biokemist6. The plating is present. The devices are not weak, but you can see them on the clipped area blow the "E" on CENT. (if the coin was clipped the clip would be ragged. It is not. It is like the rest of the rim area. Note the ends of the clip. They are normal looking. I'm on the side of the real deal error coin. Nice find!

Like stoneman227 said, no signs of the Blakesley effect and on a clip this large, there would almost have to be some. I wonder if it could have been pinched off, and the pinching caused the Copper layer to smear over the edge. It does appear to have a seam in the center of the clipped edge.

You couldn't get this no matter how you tried. It is the real thing. (the most convincing image is the one with the ONE CENT) Take a look again at the area 180 degrees from the clipped area. (In this case over the edge of the stock) Note the weakness of the strike on both sides of the coin in that area. If it were a PSD damaged coin, it would be strong on these areas. Edited by coop

Could you show a picture straight on of the clipped area?

My eyes sometimes don't know how to interpret a photo. Does the reverse side of the coin have a step on it and the obverse just a straight cut?

Is the edge that gray. If so it is not a incomplete planchet. It is PSD. The larger image on the bust is now showing me where they held it with pliers. Thanks for these extra images. It shows it is not a error coin, but a damaged coin. I stand corrected. |

This is a prime example of the importance of having proper white balance in photos  The first set of photos are so orange that the zinc core was completely obscured, making it appear as though it was normally plated. |
