The surfaces don't look original to me.

And the damage (clip) is too significant to even get a grade from some of the TPG's. (Yes, I believe some of them STILL body bag significantly damaged coins.) |

Are we even sure that this is a clipped planchet, not post-mint damage? Something doesn't quite look right.

Listing said it was clipped, so I'm not sure about it .. Maybe someone that knows a little more on that subject could help me out ...
If it is a clip and would be considered a details coin what graded and value do you guys think ?

If it was a real clipped planchet, it would not be a details coin.

It looks sanded down rather than a clip.

Surfaces don't bother me. Whatever the edge issue is. I'd grade it F-12.

Not clipped, PMD, (No Blakesley effect.) Obverse is porous and corroded, reverse is pitted. Has been cleaned at some point which made it worse. F details.

Easy PMD to me. Straight clips aren't necessarily common or uncommon in any sense at all. |
