coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/28/2014 9:18 pm Looks like the real deal to me. The fading devices from the clipped areas. Nice find. If it were done away from the mint, the devises would be crisp near the rim area. But I'm not seeing that. But also there is the Blakesley effect present. REAL DEAL! Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/28/2014 9:21 pm LOL, damage? You have a double clipped(incomplete) planchet, it was like that before the coin was struck. As blanks were being punched from the metal stock sheet, the sheet was not advanced far enough ahead before the next set of punches was made. When incomplete blanks are fed through the upsetting mill to form the protorim of a planchet, there is usually tell-tale weakness of the rim opposite the clip(Blakesley Effect). Nice error find in change you lucky dog Report this Post to the Staff
Connor Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 01/28/2014 9:27 pm I probably got this back in change 10 years ago. It has been sitting in a jar since then. How rare are double clipped planchet's? Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/28/2014 11:21 pm Double clips are less common than single clips but they are still not rare by error standards. For small clips, you could figure about double the value of a single so $5-10. It could be worth up to $20 or more if is a Red BU coin or one of the clips is large. Report this Post to the Staff
