Dearborn Moderator United States 95254 Posts	Posted 09/23/2025 07:59 am I agree, this looks manufactured after the fact. I don't see any Blaksley effect at all, and the rims at the edges of the clips run straight and true and don't fade into the clip. However, the edge images show bulging along the center line of the clip suggesting that it was squeezed during the strike. so I'm up in the air on this one. Collecting since 1972.

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 09/23/2025 08:42 am Hmm, I see faint rim flattening above the U in united and below the C in cent opposite the clips, consistent with the Blaksley effect so I call genuine clips on this coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10492 Posts	Posted 09/23/2025 7:00 pm Hard to tell. Some clips don't have the Blaksley effect so that's not a absolute deal killer. But like Dearborn stated that it looks to have a seam in the middle of the clips and a punch press wouldn't look like that - you'd think it would be a complete shear. Report this Post to the Staff

FsdWarp10 Pillar of the Community United States 674 Posts	Posted 09/23/2025 11:26 pm ~~with ijn1944. The clipped areas do not seem to have the same patina as the coin. Looks like it was done at sometime much later than when the coin was minted.~~ I stand corrected. Agree with MD Edited by FsdWarp10 09/24/2025 2:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 09/24/2025 08:40 am Both clips are genuine. Both show fadeout and taper of the design rim. Both show subtle metal flow in the letters nearest the clips. The clipped edges show the expected cut-and-tear texture. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
