The Blakesley Effect is NOT the primary diagnostic for coins struck on a clipped planchet. This is especially true if the collar die is not round or for larger, straight clips. ALWAYS look at where the rims meet the clip. The rims should dovetail from the fields out to the rim edge (ground coins or fake clips are the other way around).
A simple glance at the rims meeting the clip says this error is 100% genuine.
