Where did you find it?
Not sure about it

 

it wasn't found. Still looking through all my stuff I got from that special someone I don't know about lol. What are you not sure about?

 

Looks more straight than curved. Could be a straight edge clip. Not a curved clip.

 

It's genuine -

 

Well.. Here is some information
http://www.error-ref.com/_straight_clips_/

I might be wrong..

 

It curves right before the 1 where the date is supposed to be.

 

Curved clip

 

Need to see an edge view and close up the clip. It looks strange to me, like not the same size of a clipped coin, but Fred W would be able to tell with the close up.

 

Metal flow would account for
the not perfect 'curve' -

.....a not unusual event on some curved
clipped planchets.

 

Well its from after 1966.

 

Likely 1977 to 82. Lower relief than 66-70, wrong hub type for 71-76.

 

That’s the shot! Nice clipper

 

that is pretty cool

 

IMO it was made outside of the Mint.

 

It's a genuine, curved clipped
(or 'incomplete') planchet.

It has all 3 of the characteristics
it should have.

 

What 3 characteristics are you talking about?
I don't see the Blakesley Effect.
I don't see rim fading at either end of the "clip".
I don't see a nicely curved arc; there seems to be a kink in the middle.

 

I don't see what Kanga doesn't see. Why do you think it's a genuine clip?
