This group is so incredibly helpful. Thank you. How about this one? Is this a CP or just post mint damage?   |

@echo, I know that it will be hard to get the focus right, but can you please add a pic of the region of interest on the edge? Thx.

I lean toward damage at first glance. Can you show us a straight-on close up of the edge in that area?  to the CCF! |

That is good, but what we really need is to see that flat edge 90 degrees from the view you are showing us. Thx.

From what I can see from that last photo (excellent by the way) it is PMD . |

I think most probably it is a straight-edge clipped planchet, the "end of the line" so to speak. It's too large for the Blakesley Effect, and it's easy to see that the planchet went through the upsetting mill as-is...

Well I have to disagree. It is a straight clip. What tells me that?
1. Note the reverse, you can see the Blakesley affect there. (Not always seen on both sides of the coin. during the setup process on edge can rise only making the one side showing the affect)
2. Also the weakness of the right wheat stems.
3. The weakness on 'WE' on the obverse.
4. No hint of TRUST.

On reflection, I think Dr. coop is right.

Thanks everyone. Now I am fascinated. Here is a picture or the edge as requested. Is there any added value to this coin?  |

Add this to the previous list:
5. Note the edge of the coin, it looks like the edge of the stock material. (No saw marks)

any added value to this Maybe slightly, but the first step would be to convince them it's a mint error clip, which might be difficult.  |

It won't be a difficult pursuit: it did pass through the Upsetting Mill with the straight edge; anything else just adds to it

I agree with the straight clip crowd.
Coop and/or Coinfrog, is the strike weakness near the clip, namely in WE and the rims, a good indicator of a legitimate error? It seems to me that having the void between the dies would make it harder for metal to flow into the devices in those areas.

Here's a Straight-Edge clipped Large Cent. The two edgebumps at the bottom are the result of getting caught in the upsetting mill   Edited by whatdowehavehere
