1914 D Buffalo Nickel - Clip Error

Opinions on this 1914 D Buffalo Nickel with a mint clip? What do you think it should grade at, and does the clip add/detract from the value of the coin?

Thanks everyone!

If the 'clip' is on the obverse at about 7:00, then it is a rim ding.

Nope, never slab.


Gee, I hope this isn't against the rules.

 

I dunno Frank, it looks like a straight clip to me. I agree it wouldn't slab. I say fine details

 

i say pmd due to other rim damage

 

Since I can't edit easily from the phone.

After looking at it again I agree its a rim bump

 

I'll get a better shot of the clip once I get back to school (it's sitting in my apt.) Definitely looks like a clip to me in hand.

 

It's a toss up with all the wear on it. First glance says it's a bump. But, there does appear to be the Blakesley effect on the opposite side. With all the wear, it's just a guess.

 

Look at the reverse, no evidence of the 'clip'.

 

When I get back to my school apt on Wednesday, I'll take a better shot of the edge.

Regardless of the clip/rim damage, what do you guys think this coin is worth?

 

It's right above the buffalo's head. IMO it's a clip, but one that small usually has no premium.

Here's a jefferson i have.
