Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 02/03/2024 08:14 am This is not a double clip - at best, it is a curved clip and a straight one. The curved clip done by the blanking machine and the straight one was at the edge of the material. But I don't see any signs of the 'Blakely Effect' Collecting since 1972.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 02/03/2024 3:34 pm to the CCF Quote: Definitely legit, nice find! But the thing is it's a triple clip. Look at the TRU, and follow it around to the reverse at UN. Nice find. Not all clips have the effect. Edited by Cujohn 02/03/2024 3:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
