Here's a couple more shots at a different angle. My cheap digital microscope won't give me a full coin shot, I do that with a loupe and my iphone! ;-). And clearly my time/date on the camera is waaay off as well.
I lean towards clip as well, but I'm not well versed in the clipped planchet world. The S in states along with the dot and OF appear to be slightly elongated, more than the the remaining devices. Definitely some Die Deterioration there, but those letters look slightly more drawn out.
