    This is the second time I see NGC do this. NGC: Rotate the coin just a bit so that the prongs don't obscure the clip!

    Yeah it's real silly and I didn't even bother to photograph the obverse as it's fully under the prong and you can only see the clip with a loupe at an angle.

    Being Silver vs Clad is another perk.

    Now, if that was a hockey puck then it'd really be something.

    Wow, that's really nice.

    Prongs should be outlawed.

    This is what's known as a "disk clip" where only a small portion of the planchet is missing. Small enough that reeding may still be present but large enough to disrupt the rim.

    This error is augmented by the fact that the US Mint "artificially frosts" the rims as well as the devices. Earlier Proof Coins which did not have frosted rims are more difficult to see and less obvious.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Just got an email from NGC of the blue that they will reholder this for free so the prong isn't covering the error.
