Since I'm here, I'll post this one I got recently...I know it's ugly, but I think it's a valid error...

Research the blakely effect. Hard to tell if it's a genuine clip on the photo. Could possibly be, I'm sure an expert will chime in 😊
In that bad a condition it would make little difference.
Not sure it can be proven due to the bad condition.
It's actually the Blakesley Effect.

the coin is trashed
I am guilty of just getting home after a 2 hour drive from work😊 I think I'll study my English some😂
Thanks for the correction though 😊
It has the right curvature for a genuine clip, but that is about all you can say about this one with any certainty. Can you post a picture of the reverse? The corrosion has eliminated all of the die markers I normally use to attribute clips, maybe there is enough meat left on the reverse to make the call.

Pretty whooped coin.
Tough to tell since you can’t see metal flow or Blakesley effect.
However, I would expect a true clip to be just a tad bit wider than that one, considering its depth. Based on the obv photo only, I’d say it is damage.
Obviously it's a pretty trashed coin, it's just that I don't think I have ever seen a clip from a coin this old. Here's the reverse and I can fool myself that I see some Blakesley Effect at the ATE of STATES.
I could agree that it's a Blakesley effect on States...not that my opinion means much.
There does appear to be some Blakesly Effect at ATE of states... I say 'appears to be', because of the condition of the coin...not sure how much is corrosion wear....Cheers, RickO
