Isn't there supposed to be a "blakely" effect opposite the clip? I don't see one or am I missing it ? John1  |

Existence of the Blakesley effect on a clip is a good sign it is authentic, however, its absence is not reason enough alone to call it a forgery.

Sometimes the Blakesley effect is only noticed on one side. The obverse rim looks weaker and wider about 1:00 on the coin above. Looks genuine to me. Nice find.

With 1971 and surrounding years the rim is usually very strong and any slight weakness may be unnoticeable.
I see no problem with this one being genuine.

So how do you tell someone didn't just use tin snips or a chisel on it if there is no blake effect?
