<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2681928, member: 24633&quot;]What you have is called a clip. It is a very small one but still neat for a beginner. What happened is that blanks were being punched out of the metal sheet, and in this case, it came to the end of the sheet sooner than planned. Slippage, maybe.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the obverse of your coin at about 11 o&#039;clock you can see that the rim is a tad bit flatter than the rest of the rim. It happened because the clip caused unequal pressure as the rim was being formed in the upsetting mill. (Have you ever been on a seesaw when your playmate decided to jump off?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) Anyway, this flattened area is referred to as the Blakesley Effect, named for the person who first discovered it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
