This is the &quot;Blakesley&quot; effect.</p><p><b>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Special Note:</b> The &quot;Blakesley&quot; effect is <i>not</i> always seen on coins with authentic curved clips which are LARGE.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Design elements bordering the clip often show metal flow -- a smearing and stretching out of the design.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. The exposed edge of the clip will usually show a &quot;belly line&quot; or &quot;breakaway zone&quot;. Half of the exposed edge (upper or lower half) will be grainy and the other half smooth.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. The rim should fade out and taper toward the clip.</p><p><br /></p><p>All 4 of these are present so I don&#039;t think it&#039;s PMD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
