Cool!

 

You have a keeper there.

 

Both the coin and the wife.

Dunno looks post mint to me because of the damage to the rim opposite side

Yep! But which one should I keep?

[errorist]

That's what makes it authentic!

[errorist]

That is the "Blakesley effect."

[bsshog40]

I agree with you Mike, this looks post mint to me also!

[WoodenJefferson]

Real deal clipped planchet with the 180 degree (opposite the clip) Blakesly effect.

 

Super find!

 

Does not look all that beat up for a 96'er...perhaps someones collection was raided for a sugar rush?

Looks like a nice coin. The Blakesley Effect is a term used to describe inefficient metal flow, opposite a clip on a coin, when the rim is formed and the subsequent imperfect or incomplete rim formed at that position after striking.

I agree, authentic clip. It is awfully hard to fake one of these that well. Great find.

Is there anything about coins that you don’t know? Goodness gracious

Is there anything about coins that you don’t know?

If I only knew those pieces that would go up in value fastest.

A typical 23 cent Quarter.

Neat find errorist and great info guys, had never heard of the Blakesley Effect. I've read up on it and have positively learned from this post. Thanks all.

[just carl]

Could be post or maybe not. Amazing though that the same place is missing on both sides.

Before being struck the planchet goes between two rollers while on edge. This squeezes the edges in reducing the diameter and building up extra metal around the outside. This extra metal is necessary to form the rim.

 

If there is a clip or incomplete planchet the planchet can't be squuezed so there is no rim at the clip or just opposite the clip.
