chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 09/29/2015 7:57 pm An off-centre and a double clip (I think I see a second one)... cool! Is there more of a Blakesley effect on the obverse of the clip? Report this Post to the Staff
RichieD613 Valued Member Canada 92 Posts	Posted 09/29/2015 8:00 pm Yes its a double clip, wish I were able to take better pics. Blakesley effect is pretty strong on obverse. I<ll try and take a good picture. Report this Post to the Staff

Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 09/29/2015 8:23 pm Nice. Someone sent a collector's coin jar off to the bank I think! Report this Post to the Staff
RichieD613 Valued Member Canada 92 Posts	Posted 09/30/2015 7:04 pm Can anyone tell me what % the off center coin is? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 1:53 pm Nice finds! The offcenter looks like it is in the range of 5-10% Report this Post to the Staff
RichieD613 Valued Member Canada 92 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 7:33 pm calculated it on some software, off center is 12.5% and clip is 3% Report this Post to the Staff
Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 10/02/2015 11:19 am I also calculated 12.5% offcenter, but I wondered if it should be measured to the edge of the rim (wherever that is) rather than the edge design elements? Report this Post to the Staff
RichieD613 Valued Member Canada 92 Posts	Posted 10/02/2015 12:25 pm Here' where I calculated the offset. Report this Post to the Staff
Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 10/03/2015 4:17 pm Looks like a good way to do it RichieD613. Did you measure the area offcenter or the distance offcenter? I ask since it looks like you have a grid in your drawing. Report this Post to the Staff
RichieD613 Valued Member Canada 92 Posts	Posted 10/03/2015 5:52 pm Measured the area with grid lines and divided it by the area of the upper circle, which gives me the percentage. I guess measuring the distance would also work. Report this Post to the Staff
