<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2792752, member: 27832&quot;]I bought a small lot of silver halves, and in the seller&#039;s photos this one looked like it had been rim-dented or otherwise abused; I bid accordingly. But when I got it in hand, this is what I found:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]649175[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]649176[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]649177[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It <i>has</i> clearly circulated a good bit, and looks like it got a small rim ding just below 3:00 on the obverse. But I see a pretty clear Blakesley effect, especially at the L of Liberty. Given the extent of the weakness around <b>TRUST</b> and <b>AMERICA</b>, I wondered if there might be some sort of void inside the planchet -- but now I&#039;m wondering if that&#039;s just normal for a small ragged clip, as the metal flows toward the collar instead of into the devices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Weight is 12.04g, about .30-.35g less than other specimens with comparable wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone else seen something similar?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
