1921 Morgan double error

Sib_76

I was just wondering if this coin was worth grading. Its got a clip error along with date stamp error.

That is impact damage in both locations. Save your money.

Not worth the slabbing fees, but it’s a genuine rim clip error

I was looking at a similar one on ebay.
Edited to add that the coin also looks dipped and cleaned.

As Fred said, a rim clip, plus a slight grease fill on the date. Minor premium value, but not worth a slab.

Rim clips on 1921 Morgans are worth about $80. Had the grease fill totally and cleanly removed the 192 of the date, that would be worth a premium as well.

Oops squared. Lol

Why does the reverse of the rim clip look mashed? Or is it just weakly struck?

Blakesley effect caused by metal flow during the strike. It's a hallmark of genuine clips. You need to worry when a supposed clip DOESN'T show that weakness on both sides.

not worth slabbing

The Blakesley Effect would be opposite the clip, not on the other side of the coin in the same spot as the clip.

In the case of the OP's coin, the weakness on the reverse is just due to insufficient metal due to the clip.

Don't get it graded

Thank everyone, I will just keep in my collection.

MsMorrisine

the term is not date stamp error

dates are not struck separately

that is a grease filled die error

The Blakesley would be across the coin from the clip, nor directly opposite on the other side.

And, I thought even on small clips, it would have some effect. This one doesn't appear to, which is one of the reasons I also thought it wasn't a clip.

Don't know much about the coin, but I know where you can save 15% or more on your car insurance!

@Morgan White on very small clips and also on very large clips there may be no Blakesly effect noticeable.

Heres an example
