Or is it just PMD on this 1963 dime? Since there is also some evidence of a collar issue on the far side away from the clip, I don't think it's PMD.
It's possible. A ragged clip can take many shapes, so I can't rule this one out. It does appear to show the Blakesley Effect on the reverse.
No expansion either of the thickness or beyond the diameter of the coin due to localized compression. Blakeslee effect as mentioned by @cpm9ball, lengthy crack thru M in DIME, as well as some characteristic tapering of the rim behind Roosevelt's head and below D in DIME. Looks like a ragged planchet to me. It may be difficult to convince a prospective buyer unless you get it slabbed as such. Unfortunately, a holder may make it even more difficult for a buyer to see what's going on, or to enjoy owning such a coin.
The NGC holder would probably be better because the prongs are not as wide as the ones in the PCGS slab.
Agreed that the NGC tabs are smaller, although the PCGS tabs are translucent, and may be the better choice, if a holder is in the coin's future.
It was in an album along with many, many other errors and varieties. It was in an auction lot and I consider myself extremely fortunate these found their way into my hands.
Your 4th pic is fantastic in it's ability to really show us what's going on with the coin. The 2nd pic also shows how the flow lines go up onto (what would be) the rim. I agree, this is a messed up planchet. I don't think it's a clip though.
Well, "Ragged Edge Incomplete Planchet" would be more accurate. Just being a bit old school because that is what we used to call any incomplete planchet.
That was a great purchase, plus you got other errors. I know that ragged clip is defined under http://www.error-ref.com/ragged-clips/ but technically, it wouldn't be a clip at all, would it? If it was the end of a planchet strip, it was just a deficient planchet and not clipped. So "deficient planchet" would be the correct term, right? Feed back? @Fred Weinberg, @paddyman98, @JCro57, others.
