Rustoleum Valued Member Canada 57 Posts	Posted 03/11/2025 4:33 pm Found this coin in a roll of nickels that was obviously a collection dump. I've never seen a clipped coin in person, so can anyone tell if that's what this is? There seems to be a small clipped rim by the A of Canada, and potentially also by the T in cents. Any feedback would be most appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Rustoleum Valued Member Canada 57 Posts	Posted 03/11/2025 4:41 pm I just noticed on the other side the same clips can be seen. If a rim is clipped would it typically show on both sides of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 03/11/2025 4:47 pm Nice coin. Looks double clipped to me. Read up here on the Blakesley effect. It creates a depression opposite the clip. So you have one clip with a strong Blakesley effect opposite and a second small clip with only a slight Blakesley effect because the clip itself is very small Edited by Smallcentguy 03/11/2025 4:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
