oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5248 Posts	Posted 03/17/2016 08:22 am I see no weakness opposite the "clip" (Blakesley effect), plus the "clip" does not seem smooth. So I suspect that it is not a clip. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 03/17/2016 2:52 pm The reverse looks good but I can't see enough for the obverse. Straight clips have less pronounced Blakesley effects for some reason so I'm not dismissing this as PMD yet. Report this Post to the Staff

robmck1967 Pillar of the Community Canada 870 Posts	Posted 03/18/2016 09:28 am I believe it is a legit straight clip.the reverse is clear enough that you can see how the rim tapers at the clip. That would be near possible to duplicate. To be certain though, the coin needs to be removed from the 2x2 and new pics taken. Report this Post to the Staff
Nickelodeon Valued Member Canada 97 Posts	Posted 03/18/2016 11:03 am I agree that the coin needs to be photographed out of the 2x2. Here is a link to an article on clip errors. Hope someone can find it useful. http://www.australian-coins.com/err...ror-is-real/ Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 03/18/2016 11:51 am Yes, it is legit, and I would not hesitate to buy this coin. Blakesley Effects are often quite subtle on straight clips, especially on the anvil die. I have similar examples ranging from 1c to nickel dollars. The dovetailing of the rims tell me everything I need to know about it.
