Looks legit; you can see the Blakesley effect opposite both clips.
Score!

Legit. Nice double clip with lots of the original color remaining.

That 1975 double clip
is a beauty. Now when I look at it, I also see 2 other rim areas that are slightly depressed as if they were almost clipped along with the 2 major clips. Can anyone also explain what took place with the other 2 depressed rim marks ? |

The two other depressed areas are due to the Blakesley Effect.

For those who have not seen the Blakesley Effect it is a weakness on the opposite side of the clipped coin. This one the obverse shows the Blakesley clearly. I have circled the Effect in this photo.  |

This happens during the rim upset process, since the clipped area does not offer the equal pressure on both sides of the planchet required for a proper rim upset. Therefore, there is insufficient metal in that area during the strike to properly create the necessary detail. |

Thanks SsuperDdave,...for the first time your explanation has me truly understanding what and why we see that slight depression ( Blakesley Effect ) opposite the clip or clips in this case..
