Well, this is one time I think we might see eye to eye @i2i ! It does look like there is doubling on the "7" with a very small notch on the...
It could be some sort of glue or adhesive. Why don't you try to remove it by soaking it in some pure acetone. Chris
As a rule, most clips are indentifiable by a weakness in the strike directly across from the clip. The photo in your Post #7 showing the reverse...

Can you take the photos from directly overhead, please? Chris
Too blurry for me, too! Chris
Conceivably, it is possible if the die was very loose. What do you think @Fred Weinberg ? @paddyman98 ? Chris
The single-most common error after die cracks and/or die chips is grease-filled dies. Chris
This should be a good "teaching lesson" for so many of the newbies who want to know if they should submit their coins for grading just because...
The blank reverse of your medal is very common, and was often left that way on the reverse dies as a way of saving money (scrimping!) related to...
