KoolKat Valued Member Canada 210 Posts	Posted 10/21/2013 8:31 pm super nice,curved clip 25% give or take. Report this Post to the Staff
Ningcumpoop Valued Member Canada 220 Posts	Posted 10/21/2013 8:47 pm Well I couldn't wait to open it, I would have lost sleep....here it is but it doesn't look like your typical clip. There is no tapering of the design on the edge although the rim does taper away at the break. ? This looks more like the planchet broke after minting but before packaging......any other idea's?

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 10/22/2013 08:54 am Nice one. A cracked planchet that made it through the upsetting mill (rimmed) intact as a planchet flaw (look opposite of the flaw) but looks like it cracked apart right after the strike... Thanks for sharing!

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 10/22/2013 10:17 am Impressive looking error! I don't understand how this happened. If it made it through the rimming process intact why do we see tapering off at the rims and evidence of Blakesley effect. If it wasn't intact why don't we see more tapering off at the break point. Was a piece already missing,or the planchet deformed before the rimming? "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 10/22/2013 2:13 pm I suspect the planchet was flawed before rimming.... here is a similar example, but still intact (barely).

Zonad Pillar of the Community Canada 1471 Posts	Posted 10/22/2013 6:49 pm My thought is that the cracked planchet buckled as it was being rimmed so that one side shows weakness on the rim at clip while the other side shows weakness opposite to the clip. The planchet stayed together until after it was struck. If it broke apart before it would show more weakness in the legend near the clip. NICE coin!
