<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2579401, member: 73983"]Ok, I think I need a little help with this one. I picked this up today from a local B&M as a curiosity piece. I was able to acquire it for a little above melt, so it was worth it to me. Now, I don't think it's a ragged edge planchet, but I do think it started out as a clipped planchet though. You can see evidence of the Blakesley Effect on the opposite side of the coin in the rim. My guess, is this was a clipped planchet that was made of an improperly mixed alloy and possibly due to lamination issues or something, the edge with the clip kind of fell apart. I am asking the error experts in here for your opinions. I can only imagine finding something like this on a Morgan Dollar, wow!! But a Half Dollar is not too bad either. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.
