Owner Comments:

The United States Mint does in fact make mistakes as this coin shows.This is a 1922 Peace Dollar which was struck on a curved clipped planchet at 4:00.If you look at about 10:00 you will notice what is called the Blakesley Effect.Because of the lack of metal at the site of the clip, the opposite side from the clip will not always receive a raised rim at that point when going through the upset mill.Without the clip, a planchet would receive a nice evenly raised rim around the circumference of the blank planchet before being struck by the coining dies during the finale striking operation.
