I thought this was just damaged by a random person with some sort of pliers or something but then I noticed it has the blakency effect on both sides of the coin. The design features are very weak directly opposite the error. If you know what this is called, how it happens, and what value range it could be worth. Thanks   |

I think it's call post mint damage ( PMD). |

I would agree that this is a split planchet. not PMD or PSD. |

It is an incomplete planchet, but in this case I wouldn't describe it as a ragged clip. Rather, I would call it a struck on defective planchet error.
Believe it or not, these small planchet defects are relatively common on early 1960s silver dimes.

Still a great coin as it is silver. So the value I feel would be worth a bit more than melt price for you coin. (looks un-circulated)

The reverse of this coin appears to show blackened post molten edges, unlike the examples you've provided Coop. Apologies if I'm wrong, I'm still learning.

It was struck on a defective planchet. The reverse area is just a bit dark from shadowing, it was definitely not melted and shows clear diagnostics signs of metal flow and the Blakesley Effect.

To add on that, you see the weakness in the strike at the opposite side. The blakesly effect, just like with a clipped planchet.
