Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74006 Posts	Posted 05/31/2020 6:54 pm I got this coin from a ebay seller, after getting a full refund on my Broadstrike purchase. Seller claimed he "lost it" while trying to ship it out. So the seller sent extra coins as well for free of charge since he felt bad about it. I am only going to post this one, because I already know that the other 2 are genuine errors. Anyways, is this a legitimate ragged clip error? On the obverse, the Blakesley effect is showing on the obverse side. http://www.error-ref.com/ragged-clips/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 05/31/2020 8:52 pm I don't see enough of these to be able to offer any sort of educated opinion. I'm hoping that smarter folk will weigh in so that I can learn though.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74006 Posts	Posted 05/31/2020 9:24 pm So it might be a cracked planchet? If so, then it's not to be confused with a ragged clip. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 05/31/2020 9:42 pm I'm sure it's legit, just got to wait for the others to speak up. And as you said, maybe Mike Diamond will pitch in. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 05/31/2020 10:46 pm Yes, it's a ragged clip. It shows the typical lumpy edge texture. As far as the Blakesley Effect is concerned, any gap in a blank's circular outline will generate one. That includes curved (concave) clips, straight clips, ragged clips, broken blanks, pre-strike damage, etc. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74006 Posts	Posted 05/31/2020 11:19 pm Thank you Mike Diamond! Ragged clip it is! The best part about this coin is I got it for free of charge, as part of the refund. The seller refunded my money, plus sent free coins as well, this was one of them. Errers and Varietys.
