This one was submitted by Mark Longas. No Blaksley Effect but you can see some slight tapering of the lips of the clip and weakness of the tops of TI. Click Image To Enlarge

If I didn't trust your opinion, I would have thought PSD. The rim should be tapered even more near the clip than they are. Is there any metal flow along the clip? |

This one is tough. You really need to see the coin to see he little bit of flow there is. In my macros what is easiest to see is the ill-formed TI. I'll have this guy bring the coin back to a show and I'll get some photomicrographs. Here is a bit closer of an image.  Edited by koinpro

Because there is no rim due to a clip --- one would expect more wear than usual about the TI and what is left of clipped beads--I support a genuine clip based on wear evidence.

Sorry Ken, I don't like it... not one bit. I realize that straight clips have more subtle Blakesley Effects, but the rim elements should dovetail in... Here is my Edward VII large cent with a straight clip - notice where the rim meets the clip.

PMD here as well looks like it was fashioned to be used as a screwdriver.

Roger, more should show on your coin because it is a much higher grade. In any event, no point in beating a dead horse here. I'll get more image of the edges, etc., when I can. It is genuine but tough to call with images. Could I be wrong? Well, yes!  Edited by koinpro

Tapering of rim is backwards. Legit clips taper from inside out (see Rogers coin). Not outside in.

I'm still 95% sure on this but it does need another look. It's been a long time since I've seen it. Roger, coin does show the correct diagnostics but it is very high grade while the 1910 is not. Much as worn away. Because there is no rim here it wears faster and more severely. Still, the coin needs a second look. Thanks guys!
