Very nice illustration, I paid $2 bucks for it from a dealer at the Johnstown coin show yesterday, got better deals on several other errors that I knew were legit, should have listened to my gut on this one, I knew better.
Usually, the dovetailing of the obverse/reverse rims are a good clue, rim elements just do not strike up at the edge of a clip or ragged planchet. As soon as I saw where the rims meet the gap - I knew it was post mint damage.
