lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 07/25/2021 5:34 pm Maybe a minor clipped planchet, obverse at 7:30. It appears to show Blakesley Effect and weighs 2.96 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 07/25/2021 8:23 pm I don't think I would have thought it was a clip if it was a coin I found. I would think it was damage. But it is a clip. Report this Post to the Staff

lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 07/25/2021 9:40 pm @John1 - I pulled this from a mint bag I am about half way through. I did not find it in circulation. This does not totally rule out PMD but seeing signs of Blakesley Effect is why I think it is a clip. Report this Post to the Staff

It looks like it was gently squashed to cause that crimp in the middle of the edge.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/26/2021 11:11 am When I saw the edge image I thought of that, but the strike on the obverse weakening on that devices near that area moved me to the slight clip direction. It appears the loose metal struck onto the reverse was a piece moved from the obverse. Also the Blakesley effect is on the coin on both sides. So I'm still in the minor clip side of what I see. If it were damaged, I would expect to see flattening on the outer edges of the devices. I don't see that happening. Report this Post to the Staff
