Possibly some doubling also.. I couldn't get a better photo of the D. I also forgot to get a photo of the whole obverse. I'll have to do that tomorrow I don't think the clip actually shows on the opposite side..
It wouldn't be a curved clip but a straight clip. Hard to tell if it really is. Need the other pictures. Full Reverse also.. Meaning entire front and back.
I'm trying to upload a few other photos that I have. I accidentally posted this before the photos uploaded. the front of the coin will have to wait until later today once I'm home from work. I'm dealing with a bad WiFi connection at the moment. How does a straight clip happen?
When the sheet of metal used to punch out blanks is punched at the very edge of the sheet. It's not really clipped.. Just missing. https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/586/
Welcome to CT. The pictures you have provided are very good, but like others have said, more are needed.
looks like a fine file did that. take a metal (fingernail) file and the other edge of the quarter. Bet'cha it looks the same after some sanding.
