NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 978 Posts	Posted 09/14/2023 4:24 pm I wouldn't call this one a clipped planchet, I'd call more of a pinched planchet. Although it does have the Blakesley Effect opposite the clip. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4588 Posts	Posted 09/14/2023 5:30 pm It's a clip - remember, the proto-rim is applied by the upset mill after the planchet is cut out of the sheet. So the mill creates most of the proto-rim on a tiny clip like that. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 09/14/2023 5:30 pm Yes I agree with your assessment--interesting find. Is so little metal missing that the weight is still within mint specs?

Dearborn Moderator United States 94812 Posts	Posted 09/14/2023 6:37 pm looks good to me as well. Never gave it any thought before, but the edge has the copper plating covering the zinc core too.
