I feel like I see the Blakesley Effect on the obverse at 1 o'clock by "LIB" in Liberty. I've taken a obverse and reverse shot. Curious to everyone's thoughts. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/16/2018 2:07 pm I do see it. It is the real deal. Look at the rim edge. See how it is very narrow around the coin? Note the area of LIB on LIBERTY. You can see id widen in that area. What is what you look for. The rim is weak because the upset process was weaker because of the clipped area. So this is a incomplete planchet error. (Same thing on the reverse, the Blakesley affect is seen on the 'AM' on AMERICA area. Note how it widens on the rim in that area.
