But it not a single clip? It is a double clip. I was looking at the Blakesley affect and notice the second clip on the reverse. Small, but a second clip.

Very unusual for us to see two different types of mint errors on the same coin posted here. Well done @jim!

 with all of the above. Spence said it best saying, "Very unusual for us to see two different types of mint errors on the same coin." Nice coin!  Edited by merclover

Thanks everyone! I was thinking the other night that I don't ever recall seeing two errors on one coin. I'm glad this cent is the rare exception.

One is a mint error, the other is a die variety. Not two mint errors. When I think of a mint error, they are a one of a kind. On a Variety there can be a million of them from the same die. So the terms are different. I see that so often on the internet. The term error is used for everything, but is used incorrectly.

Not just clipped, but a double clip! A second minor clip is visible above the A in AMERICA on the reverse, along with a second minor blakesley effect opposite it.

This is an overlay with the OPs pic over 1MM-3: Appears to be a tad north of 1MM-3. Though the pic for 1MM-3 is minimal for a precise overlay.  Edited by CentSation

It may possibly be a new listing or a different stage of an existing one.

The bad thing is you have a variety and an error on the coin, is this. It doesn't add value to the coin. To a variety collector they don't care if it has an error on it and won't pay extra. To an error collector they won't pay extra for the variety, as that is not of interest to to them. So a variety collector may turn it down as it has the error on it. So it doesn't add value to the coin, as two different camps collect/desire/want different things.
Also it is not RPM-008. The locations and shapes are different.
