Absolutely a genuine error, even worn the metal flow into the clip on the obverse is obvious and definitive. Nice find!

The Blakesley effect is an indicator that a clip is genuine, but the lack of one does not mean that the clips not genuine.
Agree. But it was a good moment to bring up a diagnostic as a teaching tool.
Yes, and no Blakesley effect
