I am somewhat skeptical on this "Rim Clip" because someone can easily fake this with the right materials. Errers and Varietys.

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 7:05 pm I don't think its a clip, cause the rim is still intact. The damage to the top of the F looks like it was hit with something. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74679 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 7:08 pm Thank you Fuzzy. The damage you are seeing is actually a Struck Through. Doesn't show in the photos, but in hand, it's I think a slight Grease strike. I am somewhat skeptical on this being Clipped or not since it can be easily replicated by hand. A head scratcher for me.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74679 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 10:02 pm Thank you so much guys. I appreciate all the help. I had a feeling it was all PMD that caused this. That is why I was so skeptical on this being real. Back into circulation it goes. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 11:01 pm Looks like a glancing blow took off that rim area and damaged the 'F'. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74679 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 11:12 pm Thank you for commenting Coop. It was a pretty accurate and good blow that caused this PMD. Someone got smart here and made it look like a Clipped Planchet, but now I know it's not. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
