Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 03/17/2013 4:02 pm I didn't think there was PMD on this. I figured it was a ragged planchet Report this Post to the Staff
t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 03/17/2013 4:40 pm Looks like it was a partial clip when rimed, then the planchet cracked - maybe that is the reason why the Blakesley is disproportional to the clip, and would explain the damage opposite to the clip. Very nice error! Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10477 Posts	Posted 03/17/2013 6:30 pm I am on the fence with this one... a coin to be seen in hand for sure, before passing judgement.

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 03/17/2013 8:12 pm The "1 CE" looks a little smeared to me; it puts me in mind of PMD as well. But the incompleteness on the obverse opposite the clip has me wondering. Would an extreme example of the Blakesly effect look like this? It looks like there's a bit of a retained lamination flaw going on there as well. And I can't tell from the pictures when that large gouge to the right of the "T" happened. It even looks like it has a touch of finning as well. Got to agree with SPP, an in-hand inspection would be best to solve this one. Report this Post to the Staff
