[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 1808438, member: 4350"]It looks legit to me. Look at the weakness of the lettering toward the lower portions of WE TR. That's pretty characteristic of the way the letters form when a coin is struck on an incomplete planchet. I can't be 100% sure but I'd go 85% sure at this point. Look at the clipped portion to see if there is a slight raised line about 2/3 down the wall of the "clip". It may not be visible since the coin is circulated. When blanks are cut from the metal strips, the cut only goes through a portion of the strip to cut the planchet. It doesn't cut the entire way through the strip. You can often see the line that I mentioned as it is a remnant of how the blank is broken away from the coinage strip. If you can see that line, than I go 100% sure.[/QUOTE]
