[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 3642110, member: 92083"]I bought this as what was described as a roughly 30% ragged Clip on a 10 cent type 1, 90 silver blank. However, the very end of the rim shows angled marks almost like it was made via a file. I have looked at several of my blanks and I'm not seeing this pattern on any of them for any denomination. Also, along some of those file marks you can also see what could be copper coming through. If it is a clad dime ragged clip, I'm okay because I got it super cheap. However someone told me that there was an article in Errorscope some years ago about a bunch of these that were either altered or counterfeited and flooded the market. However I don't see any bending or tool marks that would be needed to hold this blank to make that ripped and torn pattern for a ragged clip. I admit it. I am stumped. Anybody know anything about that article or this piece? I'm on my way to go get it scanned now and will post an update. ~Joe Cronin [ATTACH=full]977812[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]977813[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
