<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 3511124, member: 1859&quot;]I suspect that the reeding on the inside of the clipped edge is the result of a strike clip.&nbsp; Your blank was inserted off-center beneath a newly struck dime that had possibly adhered to the hammer die.&nbsp; The dime was forced through your blank during the hammer die&#039;s next downstroke.&nbsp; The shearing action was facilitated by a stiff collar frozen in the &quot;up&quot; position.&nbsp; The non-reeded clip may also be a strike clip, but in this case another blank or planchet was forced through your blank.&nbsp; The distance between the two clips suggests that your blank straddled the gap between two adjacent striking chambers and that this is a tandem (saddle) strike clip.&nbsp; Very neat, if my reconstruction of events is accurate.&nbsp; I&#039;d like to write it up for Coin World, if possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
