Here is the obverse.

 

Hello! The pics are pretty small to be able to tell much. It may be a clip, but I have a feeling the E is post mint damage. But I really can't tell for sure.

 

Please post larger photos and please don't clip part of the coin in your photos.

 

Sorry it took so long to repost the pictures. Hope these are better.

 

Can you also post a pic of the edge where the clip is?

 

Thats the best i can do.

 

I don't know,the edge of the clip looks a little funny to me,but there are others here who are much more knowledgable than I am.

 

My opinion is damage. On the reverse you can see where metal from the rim was pushed inward into the field.
