Looks irregular for a clip. I vote damaged.

What would the grade be though? Guess I should change the title!

cohen 6 I think. vf details porosity/damage. Lots of this year were minted so many that they were released over several years.

Some weakness in strike on both sides. This is a really nice classic head with an above average planchet. Cant comment on the defect but it could have been a defect on the planchet. I'm going to market grade this at XF40. I'd like to see what celticsoul has to say about it.

I think it easily makes XF details wise
The light porosity doesn't really bother me much
Not sure about the clip but I wouldn't be surprised if it was mint made.
Nice find.

My first thought was PMD, but not really sure. |

EF-40 Appearance with a possible planchet flaw.

I agree with EF details. From the photo, however, it is difficult to say just how even/smooth the surfaces are. Regarding the 'clip', my feeling is that it is either a planchet flaw, or some kind of damage. The radius of the missing section seems too small for a cent, or even a Half Cent clip. Still a high grade coin and worthy as such. |

AU Details, there is way too much detail on the highest parts for this to be XF unless a TPGer net grades it down. As for the clip, I'm not really sure, first instinct was PMD but it's hard to tell. |

Would nice photos of the rim in question aid in our quest to uncover the truth behind the "clip"?

I'm looking at a damaged AU+ Half Cent. Does not appear to be a planchet clip or flaw. The coin has rough surfaces also, which would net this coin to a rather low grade. |
