Unfortunately, I don't think it is a clip. First, note that the arc of the clip doesn't coincide with the perimeter of the coin. Also, the edge in your third photo appears to bulge slightly like it was cut with a hand tool of some sort. If it was a blank cut from the sheet of metal, there wouldn't be a bulge.

Agreed

 

But I bought it from a professional coin dealer I dosent bulge but I agree I took a bad phot of it and I believe it is called a curved clip

 

I don't see any weakness that I would expect to see near the clip or on the opposite side, the blakesley effect. It looks like it was done after the fact.

 

I think the dealer was either mistaken or he took advantage of you. If you still disagree, try placing another quarter into the arc. It's my guess that you will be able to see a gap in the center of the arc because it doesn't fit correctly.

Agreed! The arc of the "clip" should match exactly the arc of the rest of the coin. It is plainly visible in your photo that those arcs will not match. An honest coin dealer would happily refund your money.

 

I'm confused what do you mean the arc should match the other arc

 

What do you mean exactly

 

The curve of the quarter should fit in the curve of the "clip"

 

The curve of the quarter will not match the arc of the clip, and you will be able to see a gap (space) between them.

Put another quarter into the clip. Does it fit perfectly?

 

I see nothing in the pics to lead me to believe it is a legitimate clip, sorry.

The coin has ben modified post mint and is not am authentic clip.

 

Agree with everyone. It's too clean of a cut. No Blakesley, no rim tapering toward the clip, no devices tapering toward the clip, no belly line/breakaway zone on the edge = no clip.
