basicbob101 Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 02/13/2010 11:51 am there appears to be a minor depression on the rim of the reverse at 180 degrees that may qualify as the Blakesley effect, but I am far from being an expert so I could not say but would guess that it may be genuine unless closer examination of the depression appears to be caused after striking (in someone's vise).What I see is starting about at the "N" in One and ending at or just before the "C" in Cent.

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 02/13/2010 8:42 pm I agree you can see the blakesley effect on the reverse. All genuine clips do not have the blakesley effect. The incomplete planchet error will have a full upset rim but will sometimes break apart from the force of the strike and you end up with a clipped planchet without the blakesley effect.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/17/2010 08:36 am Often you will find the blakesley affect on just one edge of the coin. I think the planchet raises during this setup process and only one side is affected. I've never heard this commented before. It's just my own idea on how that happens. Report this Post to the Staff
