If you look at the distortion on the mint mark and the letter M in UNUM on the reverse that was the give away for me to believe it's the real deal.

Looks correct to me.
The design not being fully struck around the clip is an effect that I can't see being reproduced that easily if at all.

Looks legit to me, but it is interesting that we need to build a consensus on this one. For me, the Blakesley effect is an indication of it being a real clip.

Spence, I agree on the Blakesley effect. The distortion was for me the only other factor that made me think it's legit.

Never really understood the Blakeley's effect until now.. I found a nice article about it https://www.australian-coins.com/er...ror-is-real/Quote:
The Blakesley Effect
Named after the American numismatist that first identified it, the Blakesley Effect can be the most powerful identifier of a genuine clipped planchet error. The effect is characterised by rim weakness directly opposite the missing portion of a clipped planchet error coin. This effect is a result of the rimming process that is used on most coin blanks to form a coin planchet. The rimming process rolls the coin blank along its edge under high pressure between a roller and a fixed edge, as it is rolled around the full circumference the edge is raised. When an incomplete blank rolls around this edging press the pressure is relieved when the missing portion contacts either the fixed edge or the rimming roller. The result is that no rim is formed opposite the missing portion of the coin blank. So, I think it is real because of the rim on the opposite side.. But the clip does seem too perfect trhough.. |

Well please don't look for it 100% of the time as a tell tale - sometimes it ain't there but still a great clip - so there goes that identifying factor out the window! |

The larger clips don't have it. But this one is the real deal.
