Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74936 Posts	Posted 12/04/2024 3:46 pm Can you get a whole picture of the edge? That would help us determine if it's legit or not. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/04/2024 4:11 pm It is a legit straight clip with ragged edge. Report this Post to the Staff
Meyerstone Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 12/04/2024 4:37 pm I will try to get a better edge picture shortly. Sorry for the delay. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/04/2024 4:46 pm Agree this is a legit straight clip with a small Blakesley effect. Report this Post to the Staff
Meyerstone Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 12/04/2024 4:48 pm Heeey, I finally found a thing that's actually a thing. Cheers all! Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 12/04/2024 6:01 pm Quote: It is a legit straight clip with ragged edge. How and why are the devises completely missing on the obverse? Report this Post to the Staff
sickpuppy78501 Pillar of the Community United States 599 Posts	Posted 12/04/2024 7:42 pm Someone did this with a soldering iron and a hammer. No doubt about it. That's not blakesly-ing. That's flattening. You can't even see it on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10601 Posts	Posted 12/04/2024 8:15 pm Quote: Someone did this with a soldering iron Well, I very doubt a soldering iron - I've been involved in ferrous and non ferrous foundries for over 30 years and know that a copper penny melts at approximately 1,981°F (1,083°C), Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/05/2024 12:25 am Cujohn, you'd be surprised how far inland some straight clips can go. In general the edge of a ragged clip is a bit unstable, and prone to doing funky stuff. Report this Post to the Staff

I looked back at some of my straight ragged clips. Never noticed that they do have more missing devises that a regular clip. Thanks for pointing that out. Report this Post to the Staff
