Found this guy roll hunting last week and I'm thinking it's a clip (at 9 o'clock) however I'm not 100% sure so I'm asking what you guys think...

It is possibly the slightest clip I've seen but, I think it is one. The rim looks correct leading to it and, as I've been told, the Blakesley effect can be more prominent on small clips (flattening/weakening of devices and rim directly opposite the clip).

Your example shows both.

This is called a "rim clip".

It is most definitely is legit... good catch!!

What's with the symmetrical rim dings between C & A and D & A in CANADA? Part of the clipping process or coincidence?

Coincidence. The dings are PMD.

I guess odd things happen. They're both exactly 17 denticles from the start of the clip.

Thank you all for your responses! I'll be 2X2'ing it...finding coins like this one is cool but they get put away and quickly I'm back to roll hunting quarters where (for me) the real fun is..the treasure hunt! :)
