sommerj

I just wanted to double check make sure this is a ligit error, also maybe a name for this type error & ballpark figure on a fair price.

Before i sold it or kept it just want to make sure it is ligit. Thank!

It's not a clip. There's a planchet defect of some kind on the reverse face, which resulted in weakness on the opposite face. I'm not sure what type of defect this is. It's quite unusual.

I would call it either a rim clip or a tapered planchet. Either way the planchet was incomplete causing the weakness of the strike inthat one area. I might also know of a god home for it.

My vote is a small clip. The pressure pushed just enough metal out to make the coin round, but enough of a clip to keep the coin thin in the area. Nice!

A "disc clip" or a "rim clip" wouldn't produce such an extensive, scooped out area. Nor would it be restricted to one face. A tapered planchet is a possibility, but again, these tend to produce symmetrical weakness on the obverse and reverse face, not a scooped out area on one face with simple weakness on the opposite face. It could be a "rolling indentation", i.e. something was rolled into the strip and then fell out before or after blanking.

I am not sure what it is, but it appears to be a legitimate error. It is not, however, a clip (incomplete planchet). It appears to be something that occurred prior to the blank entering the upsetting mill as there appears to be a bit of a Blakesley effect.
