Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 10/19/2017 2:54 pm Good morning everyone This morning I removed the coin from it's 2x2 and attempted to photograph the area opposite the clip to show the Blakesley effect. The pics don't really capture what I can see with a loupe or a microscope but it is there. here are the best pics of the bunch. The first pic is focused on the clip itself with an arrow pointing to the opposite side. The second is focused on the Blakesley effect opposite the clip. I hope these help. like I've said before, I wish that I could download the images that my eyes see to my computer (that made more sense in my head) and post them. Not a bad find considering it's been in circulation for 70 years! This has been a very valuable learning experience for me! than you all!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/19/2017 4:48 pm I agree. Incomplete planchet with a small clip on the blank. Clips happen during the cut out of the blank. The rim is added to the blank turning it into a planchet. Then the planchet is struck. This is an example where you can see where the setup rim raised the edge. If this were PSD, then that rim area would not have been raised. But because this was a small clip, then the setup raised the edge a bit where the clip happened. Unique to see that, but not a large premium for this though. Edited by coop 10/19/2017 9:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/19/2017 9:16 pm Sometimes I see things that look even new to me. This coin was one of them. I've never considered the aspect of the a small enough clipped area that would be rounded by the upset process. This is the first time I've seen that happen. Most of the time I read through the thread and the correct answer is there already. (great job guys) But sometimes I've seen other things that may be visible also. So I put in an answer to that issue. My goal is to get all of us on the same page. And you guys are doing that. So I don't add a note to that on each thread. Just when I see something different on them. (new or missed) Report this Post to the Staff
