I don't see any Blakesley Effect, either. Chris
That's okay! You're allowed when you're learning. The upsetting mill raises the rim somewhat before the planchet enters the coining chamber. This...
First, welcome to the neighborhood @Rip Hunter ! A lot of people make the mistake of confusing coins like this with the "No S" variety of proof...
