Nice job on showing the edges. That shows that it happened before the plating. (Which means it is a legit die error) Sometimes the coin altering would have shown a non plated edge on that area:  The edge tell more of the story. It is real!  |

@mac, I just stumbled on this thread now--that is a super find and I like the double Blakesley on the rev. Well done! "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

What exactly is an "edge clip"? This coin most certainly does not have a straight (edge of strip) clip. In fact, both are curved clips of differing sizes.

It is when they are punching planchets and they hit one already cut out. this one was punched an extra 2 times. That is why it is round too.

@Spence, this was in the bundle of coins I bought along with few foreign coins, then there were a few error I noticed, but this one has the double clip unlike the other errors. It is a strange mixed lot, which I also found few other oddities I'm going to post soon for others to verify what it maybe.

@CCP-Ottawa: The term of edges of the clip maybe is not the perfect term. In my blue line I mentioned. The next photo will make you understand better.  In the photo you see the two same circles with same diameter who interpose. The edge of the clip represent the line I0-I1 (or "C"). We suppose that the coins are cut with the same diameter, so we have to calculate the surface of the missing part which will be half of the blue arcs on my photo and deduct from the total are of the normal coin. For this due to the fact we know the diameter of the coin and the radius, we will use Cartesian calculus and Pythagoras theorem for circle arc, then by Euclidian mathematic is easy to calculate the percentage is missing. I hope it is on your well wait answer. All my best Edited by silviosi

My point was, that those are two curved clips. An "edge clip" is not error nomenclature.
