Sure looks more wear than clip, no matter what grading co. said. As others said, not worth it, you'd never get out what you have and would put into it. Your list value is too high, yea it's book price for g7. Yours may get that on reverse (doubt it)but obverse is straining for F2 at best. Use it as a hoe filler til get better.  |

A clip is slightly curved in ,looks like someone put this coin against a grind stone.

I also do not think that this coin is worth grading. In any event, here is how I would apply your questions.
1. A clip would perhaps add some value to this coin from your stated condition assumption. However, I don't think this is a clip. It is slightly convex like it was ground away - perhaps a kid sat and ground it on the sidewalk for an hour. If it was a clip, it would generally be concave with an arc of the same radius as a half dollar. With a clip this large, I would also expect to see the devices on the opposite edge to be very weak due to the Blakesley effect, though I don't see it. In summary, I think that the coin has severe post-mint damage and thus worth considerable less than $200 as it would receive a details grade due to damage.
2. I do not think it would receive a VG-7. Probably considerable lower and thus less than $200. Not worth sending it in, and especially not with a variety attribution.
3. I think it is cleaned and the value is thus further decreased. It looks severe enough that this would give it a details grade.
Sorry....

Unless your planning putting this up on ebay, not much Cents in having it slabbed. |

I agree ... that for the state this coin is in, it would be impossible to determine
if the clip was done at the mint or damaged after leaving the mint.
My opinion, it was damaged after leaving the mint.
This coin is a classic hole filler. A coin that is better than a empty hole.

I still have empty slots for the 1921 and 1921 d. I would not allow this coin with my others.

That poor coin has seen better days--it's almost like a Spanish cob. Not sure what value remains...I'd keep it just for the date.
