I don’t know.
If prices remains low, and it’s not a concoction, I may bid, or you may go for it if you buy errors. Thanks for your observations.

Looks real based on the Blakesly effect---the rim is slightly wider on the rim opposite the clip.

I would have to say that it is genuine.
Looks to be genuine. Price should remain low because its a small clip. I would think its around a 20 to 25 dollar coin, but I could be wrong.

Thank you, gentlemen. I don’t see raw clipped coins at hand. I thought that the sliced end would not have that small ragged edge, nor that the edge showing the Blaksley effect would look scratched.
I am suspicious also.
Things Fraz noted and the rim going into the clip looks almost damage and not smooth and/or fading into. Is Blakesley slightly misaligned?

$7.27 surpassed your max bid?!
Big spender, you are.

Damn right. Tell us about it when you have it in hand.
I threw a bid in for the heck of it but I dropped out at a little over $8. I just wanted a taste of how the other half lives.
Take a shower.
That is one of the reasons I don't have/do any errors - even the good ones can look suspicious to me.

I’ll find them but I don’t buy them. I also stay away from offers that end on a weekend evening.
Someone could use it for their "clock of clips". 11AM this one is.
If you want the "P" mint to match the above offered "D" mint, here it is offered for you:

You could buy errors that are certified by one of the top 3 TPG's.

Sure. While my statement is mostly true, I was also having some fun with my incorrect suspicion and thus the smiley.
I stated 'one of the reasons...' and another one of the reasons is that I just don't seem to have the interest in them. I recall several plus years ago at a local show there was a pair of nickels (in two slabs) that were a matching pair. As I recall they were from overlapped planchets when struck and the two matching nickels. Now after seeing the chain strike I start thinking was it just a matching edge? But I still think it was overlapping. But in the end didn't have the interest to buy. This is one I probably should have purchased since I still recall them. Or more accurately stated, sort of recall...

I want the O-Mint one.

Now I like it (them).

Total amateur here. It looks to be in several of the coins that opposite of the missing piece that they were held in a a vice or type clamp that did damage . Looks like obvious damage.
Gee, thanks for posting that after I bought it.
I believe it's good, please post pics of the reverse when you have it in hand.

Godawmighty.
Just a thought guess from a rookie who knows very very little on coins. If the pros here say it's good then I would think it must be good.
The OP coin is obviously genuine.
I bought both quarters. No need to go behind me to see what I paid: about $51.00 for both, since I made it public anyway.
Dang Braddock posted that matching P. He asked if I would submit and suggested a double holder.
Thanks, you guys.
@Fraz are these your first error coins or do you have others? I think its a great area of coins to collect. Anybody can have a normal coin that looks exactly like every other coin. I have collected error coins for close to 40 years now. Clips, missing clad layers and rotated dies mostly. I sold my 11 cent piece and my Jefferson nickel struck on a cent planchet.

Yes, these are the first that I purchased. I have nothing out of the ordinary as far as errors that can be seen with the eye. I have hundreds of sorted rolls that I have not studied other than date/mint mark. I do not know enough about varieties to study them; I found myself going through the same coins when I learned something new about a type.
I’m try to find a die pair of speared eagle quarters (clad era) from 1998 and the 1983 spitter. I look for those in EF or better. I’m not going do much better than face value when it comes to marketing my collection because that is what I paid for them.
Thanks for asking.
The weakness you are seeing across from the clip is what people are referring to as the Blakesly effect. When the blank goes through the rim upsetting process to become a planchet, there is no opposing force due to the out-of-round shape so the rim is not properly formed in the area across from the clip.

At 0:20 there is a good animation showing the process.

Thanks for your help and encouragement. I procrastinate, but I will submit as a pair when I feel like form-filling. That matte proof buffalo thread clutches at my billfold, as well.
