http://www.coinworld.com/NewCollect...Planchet.aspIncomplete planchets: If the strip slides to the side too far and the punches overlap the side of the strip, the missing area is straight. If the punches overlap the end of the strip, the missing area is either ragged or straight, depending on whether the end of the strip was trimmed. Many incomplete planchet errors have a "signature" known as the Blakesley effect. The area of the rim 180 degrees opposite the "clip" is weak or non-existent since the rim-making process in the upset mill is negated by the "clip." The lack of pressure in the upset mill at the clip results in improper formation of the rim on the opposite side.It can still be a true clip even if it is ragged or straight. The most important thing is to look for the Blakesley effect opposite the clip. As for your nickel, it is a lamination/planchet flaw.

Hello Grace. I can't say much about your nickel but on your cent it looks to me that it has been ground down and not a clip.. as far as I know from what I have seen a clip would be flat and not at the angle that this is. I don't mean that it is flat just that it would not be cut in the angle it is.  |

I figured as much about the clip but I figured I'd share it anyways. Kinda weird to see a 1910 damaged and not hoarded by someone.
Thanks biokem
Unfortunately the Nickel is a '43D and grades at around Good

Need a larger image of the clip, I think it's real. The rim loses definition right at the edges of the clip, which is indicative of genuineness. Grinding out clips isn't a very common practice, and this particular feature is not possible to duplicate with a grinder.

 That was Without the flip. And the high quality one is holding my cheap Casio camera up to a magnifier over the coin with a flashlight pointing at it just right. |

Ahh, I change my verdict. Definitely a cut coin. I didn't notice it wasn't cut straight through in the first image provided. If these images had been there the first time, my answer would have been an easy one.
