<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2047448, member: 70703&quot;]I think it&#039;s a clip. In both of the edge profile pics you can see the metal smear. from what I&#039;ve learned, on a clipped clad coin, the clpiped area will exibit a reversal of the thickness of the layers. So, in your first edge view pic, you can see in the &quot;normal&quot; areas that the layers go thin top silver layer, thick copper middle layer, thick clad bottom layer, however in the clipped area I see a reversal of that pattern, it goes thick top silver layer, thick copper middle layer, which you can see the copper layer gets dragged down into the bottom clad layer. Then the bottom clad layer, where it was is thicker in the normal areas is now made thin in the clipped area. This comes from the metal getting dragged or smeared as the planchet gets clipped.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also the rim going into the clipped areas gradually disappeares. I&#039;m pretty sure that&#039;s another sign&nbsp; of a clipped planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m certainly not an authority on these but from the minor research I&#039;ve done on them this looks like one to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
