wolfman-11 Valued Member Canada 372 Posts	Posted 05/01/2014 4:05 pm I have heard of people manufacturing die clips on punch presses. Any way to tell if this is real? the cut is aged as the rest of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 05/01/2014 4:24 pm Looks good to me. The raised parts next to the clip look weak. I can't see if there's a Blakesley effect. You can check if the rim opposite to the clip is slightly weak. If it is, then it's genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 05/01/2014 4:50 pm Not all clips show the blakesley effect. My guess is that its real looking at the dove tailing of the rim edges. Report this Post to the Staff

wolfman-11 Valued Member Canada 372 Posts	Posted 05/01/2014 9:50 pm I have worked in a shop before and a punch usually makes a clean cut, and the fact that it looks like it was pinched made me think it could be real. It's the first I've seen for real. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 05/02/2014 01:14 am It's legit. Nice find! Has nothing to do with the die, the planchet was clipped before the coin was anywhere near the die. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
