Neo13x Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 07:48 am I to find the nickel odd with the shape of the clip and no Blakeley affect. Though the shape of the clip could just be how the metal flowed during the strike and not every coin has the Blakeley affect. I do think it is legit since there is a lack of rim near the clip and the way the weak letters flow toward the clip especially the "T" in Trust and "D" in God. There is no need to send the coins in for grading just enjoy them how they are. I think they are good looking coins. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 1:24 pm The nickel is fine, small clips are sometimes distorted by metal flow during striking. The tapered rim and "fishtailing" at the bottom of GOD WE are indicators of metal flow present on a genuine incomplete planchet. They are both nice errors but the slabbing costs would be close to the value of the errors themselves so the plastic will not add any extra value as it would with a more complex and/or valuable error.

RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 6:53 pm Thanks guys! I'm looking at thinning out my collection this month and these don't really fit my collection, so they are going to be on the chopping block. Just didn't know the values, so will list them raw.
