Is the rim/edge out-of-round in the "Blakesley effected" area? It looks to be and should not be. That could be but I've found in coin collecting there are almost always exceptions to the "rules".  If fake then it's pretty sad that you can't even buy clips anymore without having to worry.  Edited by Mark1959

Hopefully, it's legit.

It's legit. See how the rim tapers off toward the clip? That's often a more reliable diagnostic, since Blakesley effect on straight clips doesn't usually show as well as on curved clips. I'm sure the "out-of-round" is just an illusion of the weaker rim.
Also, zinc isn't showing, so it wasn't cut post-mint.

SlueExe97, thank God it's legit. Luckily, I was right. If I wasn't, then I would have to get a refund for it.

No, it's okay. You just wondering if it was real or not and I understand that. Now you know. :)

The plated edge is the real clue. If it were PSD, then it would not be plated. Nice find. |

CoinCentsLady, I'm happy that it's real and I did pay a lot for it, but it was worth as you won't see another one like it again. Coop, thank you for solving this one.

The missing edge plating would be the first sign of an altered coin:  |

Good demonstration Coop! You always have the best demonstrations on coins. This clip is real because it still has plating which means it happened during the Minting process. The demonstration you showed, someone did a great job faking that clip.

Oh my God. That is funny as you know what. Wow, maybe I should get that and make my own so called "error coins".  Haha, just kidding!  Errers and Varietys.
