nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15432 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 7:59 pm I do not know the exact diagnostics to identify these ... Appears authentic to me from what I can see ... the weak 9 in the obverse date coupled the shape of the rim truncation lead me to my conclusion ... might eat those words later.

Small straight clips typically have a weaker Blakesley Effect than small curved clips so look for the tapered rims and heavy die flow on peripheral devices(most prominent at AMER).

Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 09/17/2013 1:45 pm Sweet! I can see a very slight Blakesley Effect but it wasn't as prominent as I thought it should be. Know I know its because its a straight clip. Thanks guys! Quote: Dang it man that's nice ! Did you find it roll searching a box ? I get Customer Wrapper Rolls and I get Fed Wrapped Rolls (N. F. Strings & Sons). This was from a customer wrapped roll. Most of my best error have been from Customer Wrapped Rolls but I have been finding tons of Wheats in Fed Wrapped lately.
