garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 06/30/2007 01:31 am Hello Andy I would say clip but only because the edge is rounded and not flat. it looks like someone played with it too but I will go with clip this time and see if I have it. Gary too Report this Post to the Staff
GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 06/30/2007 01:37 am I'm all about competition gary I'm gonna disagree There is just too much "damage" around where the clip is for it to be a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/30/2007 01:40 am Notice the weakness opposite the clip- that is a diagnostic known as the Blakesley Effect that is present on most true clip errors. The tapering of the clip is another diagnostic. http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/...gnostics.htm Edited by biokemist6 06/30/2007 01:43 am Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 06/30/2007 09:59 am Biokemist's theory has my vote right now, but I'd really like to know more about the 'b' in Liberty and how it relates to the creation of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 07/01/2007 02:08 am I see your point GO. I am still not positive that it is a true clip I would have to see the coin "because of the condition" to know that for sure and I do see some of the charistics of the half on Biokemisr6's post. I have been wrong before though so I like you will wait for the answer from someone that collects this kind of error. Gary too Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 07/01/2007 03:37 am The O on the reverse and 6's in the date being struck into the area of the Blakesley affect(beveled area ) says this is a clip . The B is damage . Metalman Report this Post to the Staff
blue2354 Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 07/01/2007 08:59 am Thanks for all the responses so far. I was surprised to find this awhile back in a roll of quarters I picked up at the bank. I thought it strange that no one else removed this from circulation since it was so noticeable. Report this Post to the Staff
