I love visiting Paul and his shop, shame that our conversations could not happen over beers... The dealer, tossed it in there because he didn't think it was a legit error. I paid for the coin, plus a hefty "tip", which made us both happy. This is probably the largest straight clip I have in my nickel dollar error collection, and only the third one I have found. One has to remember, with large coins and large straight clips, Blakesley Effects are quite subdued.

I'm surprised the dealer discarded it as not being a real error, good man on your part for the tip though, I would have done the same.
