HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24977 Posts	Posted 01/23/2025 11:36 pm I agree with Errers - this looks more like the edge was ground down rather than a clipped planchet. I don't see the characteristic flow in the denticles in that area. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 01/24/2025 12:50 am The rim is complete and undistorted. This generally indicates that the material was filed off after the strike. If the material were missing before the strike, the rim in that area would be distorted or weak from the lack of metal during the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 01/30/2025 06:45 am I agree that all the above but will add that there does appear to be an obverse lamination going from k7 to k12. An image of the rim might confirm what looks like a split in the planchet at the rim above LIBERTY. The lamination looks to be on the reverse as well and follows the same "vein" as the obverse one.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 01/31/2025 09:49 am I agree - on a clip the rim design will usually fall off towards the clip. Collecting since 1972.
