[QUOTE="Fred Weinberg, post: 2821233, member: 86437"]All I can add to this part of the discussion (because you guys got the Blakesley Effect right) is that I'm one of the very very few still alive that knew Mr. Blakesley He would attend the Error Club of Hollywood meetings (which started in the fall of 1967) He was just developing his theory of clips, and the effect that bears his name, at that time. He explained to me, and other club members, the three ways to authenticate a (curved) clip. 1. Metal Flow towards the void/clipped area 2. The weak rim area opposite the clip - which we now call the Blakesley Effect 3. The "Cut & Tear" mark area INSIDE the clip itself, from when the Punch came down on the planchet strip - the punch only had to go thru 51% of the strip to punch out the blank - so all Type 1 Blanks of any denomination, and curved clips, have it - there is a band of smooth area inside the clip from the 'punch', and a rough area inside the clip (picture it horizontally) from the 'tearing' of the blank down thru the planchet strip - i.e.; Punch and Tear Mark. He was a great person - tall, lanky, an avid runner, very soft spoken, and very intelligent. Hope this background info helps a bit.[/QUOTE]
