This 1974 nickel has been through a lot. Found CRH, I am not sure what to make of the clip area. The flat portion on the reverse could correspond to something gripping the coin and creating the obverse rim damage. A few things for the positive case: the coin is slightly underweight (con: not impossible for this wear level), there is weakness on the 19 which might be poor metal flow during striking, there is a bit of curvature on the missing metal, and quite a bit of interior pebbly texture that could correspond to raw metal that was not touched by the upset mill.
