I finished searching a box of halves that held no silver.. I found 2 NIFC's and this 71. I think it may be a clipped coin.. What do you think... clipped or PMD?    |

See the Blakesley under the LF on the reverse, and between the BE on obverse?   Edited by Crazyb0

it must just be me but I am not seeing the Blakesley effect opposite the clip.
But if the others say its there, then I must be missing it.

It is quite subtle on this coin, sometimes Blakesley Effects can be almost absent on genuine clips - it depends on the size and nature of the clip. A better diagnostic is the dovetailing of the rims(both sides of the coin) into the clip. You cannot reproduce that feature when people try to make fake clips...

Nice find. Looks like the real deal. The Blakesley effect is present on this coin. Crazyb0 pointed out the location of where it is present. Edited by SilverDollar2017

Correct term: Real incomplete planchet with a clip on the coin.
Term clip applies to the missing area on this incomplete planchet.

Good to know Coop, but most people call it a Clipped Planchet. The correct term is what you said, but to make it less complicated, I'll still call it a Clipped Planchet.
Errers and Varietys.
