akglen Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 07/02/2009 2:49 pm Here's a second Cent that I recently picked up. Can anyone help in educating me on how to value an item like this? I have a third coin that I believe is another error but am having a hard time getting good pictures. Report this Post to the Staff

nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 07/02/2009 3:13 pm looks legit to me. I see the opposite rim is a little weak, as are the edges to the missing portion. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 07/04/2009 12:01 pm Why is the opposite rim of a clipped coin affected? What causes this to happen? Report this Post to the Staff
latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 07/04/2009 6:22 pm This is known as the "Blakesly effect". During the rimming process, pressure is applied to the blank to create the rim, the clipped area creates a release of pressure, which leads to a weakness in the rim directly opposite. You can see in the picture how the rim is a little flatter and broader directly opposite the clip compared to the rim on either side. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 07/04/2009 10:14 pm akglen,I think the value is right there above the maple leaf.I too was curious as to their value so I found a few on ebay.Three clipped canadian cents sold on ebay today for an average price of $1.10US including shipping.By the time the seller pays ebay,paypal,and postage he'll have gotten little more than face value.The ebay item #'s are 140330740403,110409806246,and 140330740474 Report this Post to the Staff
akglen Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 07/05/2009 1:38 pm Thanks for all the information, it's good to understand why people kept talking about the opposite rim! I don't buy or sell on ebay so never think to search there, but obviously it shows what people are actually willing to pay for items. Report this Post to the Staff
