ok if, and I do mean 'if' this is a valid clip, why toes the copper core on the reeded area show on one half of the edge and inside the 'clipped' area it shows on on just the opposite side?
When a blanking die comes down to create the blanks out of the stock material, it usually 'drags' a bit of the surface cladding down over the edge - that is why the edge of cladded coins look the way they do (half silver, half copper). on this example it appears that the 'clipped' area was cut from the opposite direction - something that cannot happen from stock sheets of prepped material.
Also, if this were a triple clip, I would expect that the center clip would be deeper into the blank/planchet/coin than I see here. But I'm not too sure about that.
I'll have to do some measurements later in the day when I get home and work with the Quarter planchet and partial webbing that I have to see how a triple clip would present itself.

The coin is clearly a legit clipped planchet. But of interest here, is the area at the 1 of the date and first T of STATES. It would seem that the misaligned obverse die gives this area characteristics of both a third clip or a strong Blakesley Effect. I'm not really sure which it is, but think the weakening of the T and nascent Smith Effect on the reverse would point more strongly toward a third clip.

hello กกก

What good news! I hadn't noticed that it was misaligned until yesterday.
