    Real--Blakesley effect clearly shown--the weakness across from the clip.

    I think it looks good, but I think nickel clips are not worth that much now days, have a few that I was think about selling but they are just too cheap to sell.

    Judging by the weakness opposite the larger clip it's good. This is caused
    because the metal is pushed up insufficiently in the upsetting mill to comple-
    tely fill the rim. The planchet is simply squeezed between two rollers and the
    clip prevents pressure from "bunching up" this metal.

    Absolutely genuine for the reasons others have stated above.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
