    Please provide pics of the opposite edge, directly across from the clipped area (both obverse and reverse).

    Too much info for my taste ;-)

    The experts will want to see only the side directly opposite the suspected clip to look for the "Blakesly Effect". (Google it if you don't know what it is... I didn't until recently...)

    dsmith23 Gotta get 'em all

    A whole picture of the coin would help.

    still cannot see both the clip and directly across from clip in the same frame. but from those pics i see no "blakesly effect" which would suggest PMD..

    The Blakesly Effect is the weaking of design features on the opposite edge of the clip. Sometimes its easy to see sometimes it needs to be looked at closely. I am in no way a pro but the pros need to see the whole coin(entire rim included) and it should be a quick answer. I know taking pics over and over and uploading them can be a task at times, but do it whenever you can and you'll get your answer. Good luck!

    Though pics arent totally clear, there doesnt seem to be any weakening in GOD which is where youd likely find it. On the reverse, it's a blank field across from clip so these pics probably wouldnt show any inconsistencies if there were.
