Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6505 Posts	Posted 04/04/2024 8:14 pm Not entirely sure about this nickel being a clipped planchet. Case for: 1. Some metal flow towards the gap. 2. Possible Smith effect on the rim edges of the clip. Case against: 1. Not much, if any, visible Blakesley effect. 2. Circulation wear interfering with the clip details. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 04/04/2024 9:23 pm yes, that was my thought too - an edge image. and can you get an image of the obverse and reverse without the black background - it seems like it may be hiding some details.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 04/05/2024 08:07 am It's a good clip. The distortion on the WE is pretty definitive. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6505 Posts	Posted 04/05/2024 10:03 am Thanks, Mr. Bats. Additional pics as requested: I had an expectation that it was the real deal. The clip wasn't mentioned in the listing, and I doubted that someone would go to the trouble of faking a clipped planchet just to sell it on ebay for a dollar. It could have been a damaged coin, of course. A lot can happen in 68 years of circulation. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 04/05/2024 4:58 pm Good clip. When they are this small, the Blakesley effect might not be there. Also some real big clips won't have it either. Report this Post to the Staff
