What's does the edge look like? Can you get a picture of the clipped edge? Could be legit.

I never get these right..but to me it looks like it was clipped after the coin was minted, which would make it PMD.
Just noting the "TRUST" area of the clip doesn't look right to me..

Can you get a whole picture of the edge? That would help us determine if it's legit or not.

Agree this is a legit straight clip with a small Blakesley effect.

How and why are the devises completely missing on the obverse?

Someone did this with a soldering iron and a hammer. No doubt about it. That's not blakesly-ing. That's flattening. You can't even see it on the reverse.

Well, I very doubt a soldering iron - I've been involved in ferrous and non ferrous foundries for over 30 years and know that a copper penny melts at approximately 1,981°F (1,083°C),

Cujohn, you'd be surprised how far inland some straight clips can go. In general the edge of a ragged clip is a bit unstable, and prone to doing funky stuff.
