@john1 - Are you thinking tampered with or clipped by someone?

 A rim would never form where that piece was missing, or clipped. |

Agree this is questionable.

Looks to be too worn to tell for sure. Maybe the "pseudo" rim was just metal movement building up from circulation? On the obverse is that the Blakesley effect or just rim wear?

How would metal build up from circulation? |

How would metal build up from circulation? From that flat edge contacting other surfaces and rolling the metal up onto the fields - whether those other surfaces would be other coins, cash register drawers, etc. Was just throwing the idea out there for discussion. |

@john1 - Are you thinking tampered with or clipped by someone? That's the same thing. Even with the wear I think it is not a genuine incomplete planchet. John1 |

@Coinfrog: "sorry, inconceivable. C'mon." That's the exact same thing the naysayers told the Wright Brothers...  EDIT: Just another thought - Don't the rims of Dryer Coins get pushed up higher onto the coin from making contact? After all, this coin is 104 years old and has had alot of contact.  Edited by Marv65

Clearly not a clipped planchet. You can even see the coarse sanding lines on the edge. The rim that comes close to the clipped portion would taper down, visible even on worn examples.

Please note: I'm not arguing just asking a question...... This is also on ebay and kinda looks like the same type of clip/damage as the OPs coin. Would this be a fake also?  EDIT: Spelling Edited by Marv65

Marve, can you post the ebay link so we can see both sides of that coin? I am not seeing any Smith effect, nor the Blakesley effect. Sometimes it is stronger on one side than the other. But neither example seems to have metal flow from the devices towards the gap. They look cut or ground, pushing up metal above the field in both directions. |
