Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 12/03/2008 01:22 am Hi I found this today in the bottom of a box of coins i had purchased from an estate. Had seen some clipped coins before and it reminded me of them. The wear seems normal in and all around the area as far as the rest of the coin goes. All pretty even etc. Looked for signs of post mint mucking around with, but it looks like it has been like this since day one. No way to tell for sure but maybe someone can see something.

TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 12/03/2008 07:46 am looks good, but strange that there is almost no Blakesley effect. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/03/2008 08:53 am The Blakesley effect doesn't always show on genuine clips. This one is genuine, no doubt. I find one in just about every 5000 count bag I go through. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 12/03/2008 10:37 am Thank's all for the input. First one I ever found. Saw that Blakesley effect term and checked on it. Then I can see slight flatness on both sides of the coin directly opposite the clip. Very slight but there. As well as how the metal flowed outwards toward the rim. See, you do learn something new every day ! Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 12/03/2008 6:28 pm For a coin struck on an incomplete planchet, with only this much missing, The Blakesley effect is actually pretty good. The E P area of E PLURIBUS UNUM is fairly distinguishable. As stated earlier, it's a keeper:-) Have Fun, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
