Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 4540 Posts	Posted 05/09/2025 11:05 am https://www.ebay.com/itm/326543726511 Spotted this nickel while browsing error coins on ebay. Something just seems off to me about this large curved clip. There is no Smith effect at the rim edges, they look completely square to the clip. Also, I do not see evidence of metal flow at the clip edge. With so much material missing, it seems like the strike pressure should have caused a lot of flow and deformation along the inner edge. No Blakesley effect, although I understand that is not unusual for large clips. I know it's certified by ANACS, but I am just curious what the mint error pros on CCF think about the coin. I have a decent grasp of minor clips, but it would be fun to learn about larger clipped planchet coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 4540 Posts	Posted 05/09/2025 4:10 pm Yeah, I can see a bit on the S. But why is the building so crisply struck right over the edge? Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 4540 Posts	Posted 05/09/2025 8:40 pm I'm not in the market for a coin, I'd just like to better understand clipped planchet strikes that are missing a considerable amount of material. Honestly, I'm still a little baffled how something like that can make it through the upset mill. Report this Post to the Staff
