It looks to me like the R of AMERICA shows metal flow. If this is the case, then it's a genuine clip.

So no word back from the seller on a pic of the edge but here is an angled pic they provide with their coins.

This coin has been put back up for auction as there were no bids in the original auction. This time there is a picture of the edge. Here is the original post.

Hopefully no one bids on it again. But people have been nuts again lately.

I do have a question on Bicentennial proof Ikes... Is type 1 better to get than type 2? Or doesn't it matter?

You should get 1 of each of the 3 proofs. Better yet, get one of each of the 8 standard possibilities of Bikes.

For anyone wondering what the 8 bicentennial Ike dollars are: P/D type 1/2 (4), clad proof type 1/2 (2), 40% silver S business and proof (2).
