DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/04/2009 1:16 pm Cool find! You can see the "Blakesley effect" on the rims opposing the clips. Report this Post to the Staff
Zonad Pillar of the Community Canada 1472 Posts	Posted 10/04/2009 3:30 pm Someone should inform Ken Potter of the "English effect" which explains why some coins with clips do not show the "Blakesley effect". Report this Post to the Staff

Zonad Pillar of the Community Canada 1472 Posts	Posted 10/04/2009 4:32 pm When a clip is not quite completely through a blank and the entire blank is rimmed and struck at which point the clip may or may not break off. There will be no weakness opposite the clip. On a small clip most of the weakness opposite shows from the rimming process. It was Bill English of Waterloo Ontario who first came up with the explanation, thus called the "English effect". I may be able to come up with photos of an example of both parts of a clipped coin.
