<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2579576, member: 1892&quot;]The clear manifestation of Blakesley Effect on the opposite rim tells the story here. The coin was clipped in some fashion when struck; it&#039;s the only way the Blakesley could have happened.</p><p><br /></p><p>When one looks closely, despite the missing metal the diameter - if not the rim - is relatively complete. The fairly minor Blakesley Effect could be explained by that, meaning the coin could well have sneaked through the process exactly as we see it instead of delaminating later. The strike of the O in DOLLAR tends to hint that metal was already missing at the moment of strike, while the strike of the adjacent L isn&#039;t tapered, which argues against.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
