    Please PM me. I tried to PM you but it did not work. I went to the Q&A forum and asked how to send a PM to a new contact but no answer yet. When someone writes me I can respond.

    Nice clip.

    I'll add that the absence of a Blakesley effect has me skeptical on this one.

    I see the Blakesley. FYI, the larger the clip the less the effect typically. In this case the middle part of the ragged clip is almost at the same height as the rim mimicking a very small clip so again, very small effect opposite. Medium size clips tend to have the most pronounced blakesley

    The more you VAM..

    Looks more like a planchet defect than a clip.... Cheers, RickO

    Let's wait for Fred. AFAIK these are called ragged clips although they may not actually result from a blanking press error.

    Additionally, may clips don't show the Blakesley effect.

    I see the Blakesley. Nice ragged clip.

    Clips & defective planchets are some of the easiest errors to authenticate. No doubt a genuine ragged edge clip (incomplete planchet).

    This error type is rather common on silver Roosies from th 1960s.

    Cool clip. I like the ragged ones.

    Very cool!! I love these kinds of coins.

    I too see the Blakesley effect on the opposite rim, it's subtle but there. It's easier to see on the image of the reverse.

    As mentioned, it's a nice ragged end clip, or
    sometimes called an 'end of strip clip'.

    I use to the term ragged end clip
