stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 2:48 pm Nice clip . A shame it saw so much circulation. It's a Philadelphia mint product. The mintmark would be to the right of Monticello on the reverse. You are seeing a star between Liberty and the date Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 3:14 pm I agree, about a 1% clip. You can tell on the rev the rim was never there. Not enough to have a blaksley effect. Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 3:59 pm It looks like a tiny d next to jeffersons ponytail. Can you see the letters under the clip on the reverse? Wish it were in better condition for my only clip coin. Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 6:01 pm E&V , gonna have to plead this ones case bud. The third pic showes the die flow lines going all the way into the recessed area to the edge. This would have disappeared had the recess been caused by damage. Also the rim has what I call reverse fading at the edge of the anomaly. This is where the rim fades away from clip as it goes from the outer edge toward the center of the coin . This is my favorite indicator of an incomplete planchet Edited by stoneman227 07/14/2019 6:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
