Nice find!!!
It is a normal war nickel. Period. Not a single person on here claiming they found a wrong planchet war nickel has ever proven it. Don't bother...
I read ICG and ANACS write it as Design Creep on the label
Honestly, no idea. But I bought it for $37.
I agree with @paddyman98 The damage and zinc rot caused what you see. It wasn't a genuine ragged clip that then became damaged.
Leaning towards yes? Oh, I know it is one. Just saying I want to learn more about it so I am reading about it

Update part 2: never mind. Just figured out it IS a stain
Update: Well, it is definitely not from a rubber band. And it is not paint nor a marker. These are 100% ruled out. It appears that right where...
First of all, by examining the edge it obviously is not silver. I do not believe this coin left the Mint like that and was altered. Reeding is...
No. Found them 2 years apart
I agree. Deterioated Die as @GenX Enthusiast said
Not all genuine clips have the Blakesley Effects
How would you localize the solution to do that? Plus, both the exposed zinc areas have original luster. That would be lost if chemically stripped.
