Looks like it's off-round at the point where the material is missing, so I'm going to say just a damaged coin.

The lack of Blakesley Effect makes me think this isn't a straight clip. The coin doesn't have a cut look in my opinion but the edge could have been filed down.

This is 100% damage. No Blakesley Effect, and I can see displaced metal around the "clip."

PMD. When you say, "my grandfather had a lot of coin that are real valuable," can you show us that stuff? no mint error here, sorry.

Not all clips will show the blakesley effect, especialy this big of a clip.

Seems like we have here a 50/50 crowd...PMD vs. clipped error.
Put me in the PMD grouping...

I'd like to hear Mike Diamonds thoughts on this..

From what I see I'm in the PMD camp.

A straight clip will usually show the Blakesley affect:

Error-ref.com says not all large clips show a blakesley effect.

@CuJohn look at the clip itself though. You can clearly see at the edges of the coin that the material has been compressed and is ever so slightly out of round. PMD all day.

195x cent was 95% copper. So striking the strait clip will deform, and also the design will not be there.

This coin is PMD. Somebody just cut. It is to strait to come from mint like this. All Blakeslee Effect show undulations due to the force applied by die.
