OK, that thing is straight-up nuts. You trying to collect more efficiently? One error coin with everything?  |

Nice find!
The prices for error coins are all over the place, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this hit $75.

Modern error coins are much more common than errors pre about 1960.
Mints around the World cannot affort the labour to individually inspect the whole of production for minor imperfections in the coinage destined for circulation.
The only recourse they have is to make the production as consistent as possible, with quality control production methods, and thin random batch inspection.
In most cases the machinery to make coins will automatically stop itself and alarm for machinery self protection and hopefully, the elimination of mass production of errors. Such large bulk lots of errors are recycled and don't escape into circulation.

Great find! There are actually 2 clips. The "third" one is just the Bleakesly effect.

Pic 5 shows the 2 large clips at 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock and the last pic shows the small clip at 11as seen from the obverse photo but does not seem as noticable on the reverse photo. The fade at 10 on the obverse is the Blakesly effect for the largest clip at 4 o'clock. |

Yeah, I'm not surprised the soft one at the B didn't disturb the other rim. There wasn't enough metal to go around as it was.  This is a seriously fun coin to look at. |

Very cool, especially seeing it on a larger coin...
