Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5784 Posts	Posted 02/19/2025 8:12 pm Blakesly effect on error-ref.com- https://www.error-ref.com/_curved_clips_/ Even though the Blakesly effect is usually associated with clips, it seems like any amount of reduced metal (tapered planchet?) near the rim could produce one. If the tapered end was missing enough metal when it went through the upsetting mill, it seems a Blakesly effect could be produced. I'm curious to see what others might think about the possibility of a Blakesly effect being produced on a tapered planchet. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 02/20/2025 09:55 am Tapered planchets are often associated with coins struck right at the edge of the metal roll, and so straight clips are pretty common on them. This coin likely was struck with a small clip, as it shows Blakesley and Smith effects. Report this Post to the Staff
