JKK, did you really expect anything other than dodged questions or further misinformation?

No. I just wanted to see if he'd respond to a straightforward question so that I could either give up on him or hold out some hope and respect. It was a 'take your best shot and we'll go by that.' Answer received.

Please disregard any replies by dprince or david prince as they have an established history of posting incorrect, misleading and irrelevant information.

Your coin doesn't have an "impact condition" or more correctly impact damage.  If the coin had taken a hit to a face at the rim, with a similar shaped rounded object on the opposite side in the exact same location however unlikely or ridiculous that sounds, it would not have created a flat like indentation of the edge as shown on the attached.  And if it had taken an edge hit to create that indentation there would not have been a depressed or flat rim at the edge hit.

Your coin does have a clipped planchet error, although a very minor one that appears to be a straight clip, likely from a blank being punched from an end or side of the coil strip.  There are some indications of an expected weak strike and/or distorted rim area at the clip, but there would not necessarily be a weakly struck area opposite the clip ("Blakesley Effect") since it is so minor with what looks like a substantial rim opposite the clip.

Nice find to put in a flip and add to the miscellaneous error box.

When you have a clip one side can have more metal than the other side. If you are going to post a copied response to a thread dprince you should at least explain yourself, otherwise it has no merit. Anyone here can surf the web and post the links that you have. The truth is they do not have to because they have a quality that you do not comprehend....    A.. EXPERIANCE =  B.. KNOWLEGE
