ASometimes New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 12/17/2024 3:36 pm Hello again! I wanted to ask if yall could help me determine if this coin was clipped prior to circulation?

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 12/17/2024 4:07 pm Looks like a legit clip to me, and the Blakesley effect directly opposite the clip is a very good indicator of a real clip Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6458 Posts	Posted 12/17/2024 5:35 pm Legit looking metal flow towards the missing edge. I did have a pause at those teeth marks on the Blakesley effect area. Looks somewhat circulated, to have produced the metal rolling on the clip. Although I guess it's possible that the clip is a straight clip rather than a curved clip, and could be naturally rough there. Report this Post to the Staff
HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 572 Posts	Posted 12/17/2024 7:05 pm Super cool. Clearly a legitimate clip because you can see very faintly the valleys of the reeding on the clipped edge when the coin was struck in the collar. However, I think it's a ragged clip rather than a straight or curved clip. The edge looks like the coin is two pieces of metal sandwiched together, but we know it's actually a solid alloy. Instead, I think it's from the untrimmed edge of the strip of metal the planchet was punched from. Also, on the reverse, near HA, you can see that the beveled edge is undulating and uneven. That shouldn't happen if the clip came from the punch. Report this Post to the Staff
