Major Double Clip On 1974 Jefferson Nickel

The goniometric cradler it is a motor use to slow movements. It is OK to see. The photo system is nice but hard to master.

If you has 4,5 or 6 digits posts here for me is nothing. What count is the coin.

The last photos I presume are from the side of clips. If so, by the texture of the cut I will say: Was not blank cutting Mint machine.

I understand you has knowledge on analyzing design. When I say my narrative it is from data (the mint data). On your software just simulate the clips circle and you will see that you do not have 2 mm between them.

Conclusion: Fake double clip.

It does not look like a genuine clipped planchet to me. There is virtually no Blakesley effect—that area near RICA looks more like rim damage, and there is no corresponding rim weakness on the obverse as you would expect with a true Blakesley effect. There is no tapering of the rim at the corners of the clip, and no weakness of the devices along the clip edges.

Edit: Actually , there is some weakness on the U in Pluribus, so I could be wrong.
