DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 06/25/2011 10:46 pm I found an interesting coin at the show today. At first, I thought this coin was damaged, until I noticed the weak rim opposing the clip (arrows). Maybe a second center hole partially overlapped the planchet? The size seems close, and the "blakesley effect" suggests this isn't PMD. Perhaps Mike Diamond or other experts would like to comment?

A first glance, it looks like PMD, but from what I know, I am not so sure about this one.......... Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 06/26/2011 2:00 pm Thanks for your input! I'm also fairly certain the clip was present when the edge was upset on the planchet, ie before strike. Report this Post to the Staff
