radatat Valued Member United States 492 Posts	Posted 08/13/2018 11:50 am What do you all think about this damage. Clip or other. Don't see any Blakesley and the shape of the clip is not usual for a mint error. Have a great week. Rich Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21634 Posts	Posted 08/13/2018 12:02 pm Not a clip done at the mint but maybe in someone's garage. There is no Blakesley effect and the edge is too rough. Also the shape of the clip is not normal. Final conclusion- PMD Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/13/2018 12:13 pm , and note also how the metal on the cut edge gathers in the center, this indicates a squeezed force to cut. Suspect a curved pair of tin snips used for HVAC ductwork...Johnny using Daddy's tools again without permission, wadda we gonna do with that boy? Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 08/13/2018 12:40 pm For me the jury is out on this one. Large clips will often not show the Blakesley effect. The fading of the design elements adjacent to the clip can as well be minimal for a large clip. The ridge on the edge is present on many clips. What I like about this one is the fading of the inside part of the rim at the edge of the anomaly. I expect to see this on most clips. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74806 Posts	Posted 08/13/2018 12:42 pm Definitely Post Strike Damage. It's not a genuine Clip unfortunately. There's no Blakesley effect, and the clip is way too round. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 12:03 pm The edge shows the cut-and-tear texture of a genuine clip. The M of AMERICA and the O of MONTICELLO also show a little bit of metal flow. So, even though it lacks most of the diagnostics, it has enough of them to declare this authentic.
