Thank you SilverCents! Ether outcome is fine with me, as long as it's a legitmate error coin (which I think it is).

I'm sure it's legit, just got to wait for the others to speak up. And as you said, maybe Mike Diamond will pitch in.

Yes, it's a ragged clip. It shows the typical lumpy edge texture. As far as the Blakesley Effect is concerned, any gap in a blank's circular outline will generate one. That includes curved (concave) clips, straight clips, ragged clips, broken blanks, pre-strike damage, etc.

Thank you Mike Diamond! Ragged clip it is!

The best part about this coin is I got it for free of charge, as part of the refund. The seller refunded my money, plus sent free coins as well, this was one of them.

Mike has spoken! Nice job E&V!

Out of curiosity, what are the other two if you don't mind me asking?

SilverCents, the other two were these. One is a pre 1982 blank and the 2nd one is a curved clipped planchet.

Glad Mike chimed in. Congrats E&V.

He doesn't need my confirmation but it definitely is. Like he said that uneven bumpy texture is the give-away along with the Blakesley effect.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
