tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 1:31 pm Going to try and start posting some of the clips with nice Smith Effect when I get them. This is about as obvious as it gets with the clip tapering to the rim on all four points. 1938 Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - clipped planchet w/ Smith Effect Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 2:11 pm nice clip! (smith? effect?) I see a mild Blakesley effect. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5774 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 4:59 pm Nice one and a really nice example of the Smith Effect. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 6:27 pm But no Blakesley Effect. I have doubts about the clip. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 11/20/2022 9:14 pm If a duck doesn't quack does that make you doubt it's a duck? There is no question this is a legit clip. And part of the new terminology "Smith Effect" is to add another substantial way to verify clips since many do not exhibit the Blakesley Effect. Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 11/21/2022 11:58 am Thanks for the boost of my insight. Also a good example that my Smith effect works well in tandem with the Blakesley effect. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/21/2022 12:27 pm Sometimes seen as weaken rim areas, sometimes only affecting one edge of the coin. (During the upset process the clipped planchet will rise and affect just one edge of the planchet. But on this coin I'm seeing on this coin, the weakening the rim on both sides of the coin. Note how the inside edge of the rim is weakened on the the affected area. CoopHome: What is the Blakesley affect on a Straight and Curved Clips on coins? the weaker edge affect at 180 degrees across the coins rim direction.
