Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5663 Posts	Posted 09/30/2024 7:39 pm Looks like a legit straight clip. Nice! ADD: It has a clear Blakesley effect, typical tapering where the clip meets the rim, and evidence of metal flow along the denticles and on the date.

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10491 Posts	Posted 10/01/2024 12:10 am Well it does have a Blakesley Effect. Weakness on the obverse denticles too as stated by Zurie. Seems legit! Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/01/2024 04:43 am Could it be an 1887? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/01/2024 04:51 am All of the evidence points to being a legitimate straight clip. Quote: Could it be an 1887? Based on my comparisons, the position of the third digit indicates 1897 as the nine is farther right than the eight of 1887.

Alonzowick90 Pillar of the Community United States 654 Posts	Posted 10/03/2024 12:40 am I thought of that at first but was not sure, I'll definitely double check the coin and make sure of the date Report this Post to the Staff
