robmck1967 Pillar of the Community Canada 870 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 6:00 pm I have had this coin around for a while but I am still not certain if it is a legitimate clip or not. The obverse looks promising with the fading denticles but the obverse ruins it for me every time. Also note that there is no blakesley effect. All comments and opinions welcome! Thanks.

Normic67 Pillar of the Community 798 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 6:23 pm In my opinion it is not an error. It just looks like it was pressed against something and a little banged up. One side is curved and the other is not, that does happen in errors though. Edited by Normic67 06/12/2015 6:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10459 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 7:23 pm I am wondering if it could be a striking clip? Meaning the coin was first struck, then struck again at the edge, shearing off a portion of the coin... Mike Diamond might be able to shed some light on this..

It lacks all of the diagnostics associated with clips and pre-strike damage: http://www.coinworld.com/insights/h...nghouse.html It also doesn't conform to any type of strike clip: http://www.coinworld.com/insights/s...tiology.html Error coin writer and researcher.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10459 Posts	Posted 06/20/2015 5:49 pm Thanks for taking a look at this one Mike... larger striking clips are easier to diagnose, but smaller ones can be tougher, and I have not seen enough of them...
