Vfox Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I found this in change the other day, but I can't tell if it's a real rim clip or just damage. I leave it to the people with a little more expertise in this stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 No expert here but it looks like a clip to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Only thing that throws me off is that on the opposite side the coin isn't bulged at all. From what I've been told, a real rim clip leaves the other side of the rim (in this case the right side) a tad bulged or wider. Any thoughts?

ccg Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 The Blakesky (sp?) effect is a sure indicator of a clip, but is not always present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Looks like a real clip. If it had been cut off it would have been staright and this is slightly curved. If it had been shot with a gun it would have been a bad shot and the edge would have been bent over. IF it had been bitten of there would still be teeth laying around.

LostDutchman Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 there is a very small blaksley effect showing.. right across from it you can see a very small area when the field and the rim become one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 there is a very small blaksley effect showing.. right across from it you can see a very small area when the field and the rim become one. So there is! Coolness, I wasn't sure what I had when I found this thing, but now it's the first real error coin I've ever pulled from circulation other than the blank cent I found last month. Not worth much of anything no doubt, but still neat-o! Thanks to everyone who responded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
