chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 06/18/2015 8:42 pm Does this look good? It has the slightest hint of a Blakesly effect, but not much. Edited by chequer 06/18/2015 8:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 06/18/2015 8:57 pm The fading of the rim and adjacent design is the telling sign. Good call , a clipped/incomplete planchet Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 06/18/2015 9:17 pm with incomplete planchet (clip) above. Blakely effect is a good indicator, but not always clearly visible after strike. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/19/2015 05:37 am Doesn't the Blakesley effect happen on the opposite of the clip? John1 P.S. Nice real clip. Report this Post to the Staff

Yes, I didn't even try to photograph it because in hand all I see is a tiny change in the rim ... very subtle, if it even is any sort of effect caused by the incomplete planchet.
