I've never had the privilege of seeing a clipped coin in person. I found this one while coin roll hunting. I'm not sure if it's double clipped or PMD.

I think no its just PMD from tool working the coin.

But hey its P-Mint why not. Its so funky,I would need Cooper or others to pitch in on this one. I am not sure for sure.

Looks legit to me. Notice how the rim fades as it get close to the clip, especially the rim in between the two clips. I can also see a little bit of the Blakesley effect opposite of the clips and some of the letters by the clip are not fully struck. That's a nice find congrats!!

Seems like you should be able to put two coins in at the same time in order for it to real. But the nickels may use a different pattern than the cents used to use.
Double-Clip-Nickel?
So I called Mike in on this one as well. Best to have the right answer.

The nickel was struck on a planchet with two curved clips. Clip spacing seldom matches the closely-spaced array of holes that normal strip contains. The spacing is instead highly irregular and seems to reflect an erratic progression of the strip through the blanking press.

O boy,ok. I have seen few 100 Clips. This coin is so oddly sharp and smooth as well has been chewed up by the public,I am glad I did not make the call on this Coin.

I would not buy it unless it was Graded by the PCGS. Just saying.
