For completeness, would you mind adding a pic of the edge in clipped area? Thx.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 07:16 am I have my doubts that this coin is a mint error. When coin with a clipped blank comes from the metal strip before being turned into a planchet, the shear is in one direction and that should be evident on the coin, with the rim sheared in one direction only. This coin appears as if it has been bitten with curved pincers, much like a fingernail clipper. Moreover, evidence of the blakesley effect not apparent. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 11:34 am Thanks for the comments! The coin shows very strong Blakesly effect so no real need to worry about it not being legit. Might be a chance to pull it back out of the 2x2 for a pic of the edge later, but figured there must be many edge pics of clips on here and taking those tends to be a lot of monkeying around with the coin since I need to stand it on edge under the scope. But this isn't that nice of a coin so could do that. Report this Post to the Staff
