<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 839337, member: 68&quot;]Actually what we need is a picture of the area opposite the clip.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It does look genuine and is worth at least a couple or a few dollars. It could be more if it&#039;s a date that&#039;s hard to find clipped.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are made when the round planchets are cut out of a large sheet of copper-nickel.&nbsp; Sometimes the sheet gets moved in between passes of the blanking dies that cut out the planchets and it overlaps an existing hole.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We need to see the other side of the coin because these type I planchets are rolled between two rollers to force the edges into a thicker shape creating a type II planchet. This thickness is needed because the coin needs extra metal around the edge in order to form the rim which is necessary so they can stacked and counted.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;Blakesly effect&quot; is caused by the fact when the type I planchet is upset (rolled between rolllers) not enough metal to form the rim will be left opposite the clip.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
