Edit: I must have been typing when pyrbob chimed in...sorry Edited by Maineman750 11/19/2012 6:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 11/19/2012 08:21 am I knew that the blakesley effect does not debunk it. However, the rims of the coin look like they are pushed down and not cut. Report this Post to the Staff
sab3927 Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 11/19/2012 1:22 pm Looks like a clip. Don't see any tool marks. Rim has a rounded look typical of clips. Too small for the Blakesley effect. Report this Post to the Staff
