Clip or No Clip?

Shouldn't a coin this big have a pretty obvious Blakesley effect? So...real clip or not?

This is a tough one to call for me. First, the Blakesley Effect isn't always present on clips. However, I think I see a very slight weakness of the rim between the "T" and the "Y" on the obverse and between the "R" of DOLLAR and the second "A" of AMERICA on the reverse. I could be wrong. Maybe someone else will chime in.

Rim looks weak 180 from the clip especially on rev

 

@cpm9ball

So that slight increase in wall thickness is a clue to this being a real clip. I was looking for something a little more dramatic. Thanks.

 

Yes to Straight Clip.. Great find!

 

Not always dramatic on larger coins. The clip looks pretty good for end of roll straight clip.

 

https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1972-kennedy-clipped.320073/ My JFK clipped has some Blakesley but I’ve seen less on larger clips

 

It is there. Look at edge from 180 Degrees of clip, the edge should be a bit thinner.
Better yet post a photo of it.

 

I see that if you zoom in on the original picture posted you see the rim has been effected and is wider at 180 degrees from the clip.

Thanks everyone for the info and opinions.

Will add to my clip collection.

 

A very nice straight clip example! Sweet find.

 

With a clip of that size I would have expected a much greater Blakesley Effect.
I'm thinking "No" to it being a clip.

 

Wouldn't the Blakesley effect be less on larger coins? I would think so.

 

Definitely a striaght clip

 

How come you cannot see the copper core in the clipped Area??

 

A straight clip would be end of roll,I think. Not cut like a curved clip
