1972 Nickel Found CRH - Clipped Planchet?

Real deal. Double clipped planchet. How do I tell it is real? Note the weakness on of the devices on that affected areas. That is what you look for on the clipped planchets. Why does that happen there? It is because the proto rim is not as strong, (height on that area). The lack of height of the rim and the lack of collar fill will leave the devices looking like that. Thus it is a real Clipped planchet. If the devices are were strong, then it should be a warning that it is not the real deal. Thus look for this weakness on the affected areas on the clip.
