Came by this 1986 P Jefferson Nickel in my change a while back and I've been trying to figure out if its an error or just post damage. Can't quite figure out what might have made such a sharp slice off the edge of both sides (at the same time)? Curious what error experts here can help me figure out. Thanks. I put the coin in a grid of shots each from slightly different angles of each side for best possible identification. All shots are the same coin.

If the large clip existed before the blank entered the upset mill the rim directly opposite the clip could not have been formed. __________________ No state shall emit bills of credit, make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts, coin money . . . - US Constitution, Article 1, Section 10 ANA LM-3799; OHNS LM-59; SUSCC R-4005.
