<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 3088097, member: 1765&quot;]There is a minor Blakesley effect manifesting itself as broad rims on both sides, opposite the clip.&nbsp; Without seeing the edge, the one thing that bugs me is the appearance of the rim on the obverse at the left end of the clip.&nbsp; It&#039;s diverted inward, which you&#039;d see on fake clip if it weren&#039;t cut neatly there.&nbsp; You wouldn&#039;t see this on a genuine coin that&#039;s not been circulated.&nbsp; Since it has been banged around a bit, however, that end of the clip could have been banged slightly out of shape, resulting in what I see with the rim.&nbsp; The reverse rim fades into the clip as I would expect on a real coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m favoring real over fake by a little bit right now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
