What kind of damage? Impact damage, something hit it hard on the edge.

Could this be a rim clip that happened at the mint?

 with the others. Look at how ...GOD WE.... was pushed up on this coin. Being struck that way is an impossibility. |

Don't think its a clip. Look also at the width of the edge where the damage is. It looks spread because something struck it.

Definitely not a clip.
And from what I hear you can the rust off with petroleum jelly, although I've never done it myself.

Here's a 1943 ANACS MS-65 Steel Cent with a small clip. You can see how different the edge looks. Scratches are on the slab, not the coin.  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

I find Yokozuna's type of thing in nickels all the time, small things I think are clips-or are they?

It is.   Look for the metal flow into the missing area and the Blakesley Effect across from the clip. It's hard to see in the slab, but it shows an area where the coin "bounced" in the collar during the strike leaving a wider edge on the opposite side. If you see both, you know you have a clip.

The areas at the end of the clipped area are fading and not shart. The devices are weak as you would expect on a clip.

mitchhailey, you may be thinking of "Naval Jelly", which does remove rust. I would imagine a steel cent would simply re-rust if you used the stuff on it, however. I agree with amida17 - "It is what it is."

More pics are not needed, this simply a damaged coin. Look at your first photo of the edge- notice that it is thicker than the rest of the coin. Look at the photo of the reverse- the rim ding is nice and shiny because it is raised up higher than the rest of the coin. Another key indicator of damage is that the rim is complete around the entire coin, there is no break like a clip would produce. Quote:

You might find 1 out of every 10,000 or more coins searched if you are lucky but in reality it is probably more like 1 out of every 100,000 searched. |

This one isn't a clip. Not the rim is flattened. On a clip there is no rim. Just fading devices near the rim.
