I would bet money that it is real, the small clip shows proper tapering. I believe the coin is real too, just badly cleaned. The reverse planchet flaw also helps me beleive the coin itself is authentic. The clip was small to begin with and when struck it almost definitely changed shape a bit which would explain why the radius is wrong.
