Well, never had this happen before, I received this quarter in change. Since this is my first one how would you grade the condition of the coin.   |

Yes John1, another quarter does fit in the curved clipped area. Dearborn, it does show the Blakesley Effect on both obverse and reverse, the reverse seems more pronounced ( Reed Marks where rim should be and devices stretching outward toward the rim opposite the curved clip) |

I'm going back and forth on this as to manufactured or real. If manufactured, then someone is getting pretty good at these things. I look forward to seeing a picture of the edge at the clipped location.

I'm pretty sure it's a real clip. The Blakesley Effect shows on the opposite side.

IMO.... almost looks like a double clip to me, considering on the reverse under the word DOLLAR appears to be slightly sheered.

What sort of diabolical genius would manufacture a fake clipped planchet quarter and then spend it for face value?

I can't really help,like I said not my area. The edge pic does not look normal and on the clip,each end of the clip is a place for iding a real clip. There is a thread on iding clips, but I could not find it. John1 I found it  http://goccf.com/t/456122 |

It looks good to me. Some large clips will show no blakesly effect. The weakness on the opposite side of the clip is expected.
Also I would grade it Ms or AU58 and worth $30 or so.
