<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 55895, member: 1859&quot;]There are at least three things to look for in a genuine clip:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. A vertical edge that usually shows a &quot;belly line&quot; or &quot;breakaway zone&quot; where the coin metal tears in advance of the blanking die.</p><p>2. A weakness of the rim combined with an especially well-struck edge at the pole opposite the clip.&nbsp; This is called the Blakesley Effect</p><p>3. Fadeout and tapering of the rim as it approaches the clip.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
