Clip or PMD

Interesting. Seems to be 4 different areas where you see that appear. The one with the slight angle (1st pic) makes me think it's just Post Mint Damage.

 

I think the 1st & 2nd photos are PMD. Based on that, I don't think it matters what the others are, but I'm inclined to think the person who caused this was experimenting with clips using this coin.

PMD

 

I see nothing to say it is PMD to me. I say they are clips.

 

The vertical striations In Allan's #1 photo lead me to believe the clip theory may be justified. I've nothing to back that theory up with........just my gut.

 

PMD

 

Defer to Frank and his superior take on things.....

 

PMD , as they should have the same diam. clip as the coin is round . These are flatter .

 

Ken, look at the photo of the reverse. The cut in the #1 photo is shown in the 10 o'clock position. It is slanted across the edge which couldn't possibly be a clip.

Like telling the stewardess's that Stanley the squirrel is a service animal?

 

I say PMD. Am I seeing things or do the striations change orientation from pic 1 to pic 2 (vertical to horizontal)? Regardless, I say PMD.

 

Yes, they do! And, no, horizontal striations could not have been the result of a clip.

What are the changes of finding a coin, any coin, with 4 clips? By the angle and lines I'd say PMD.

 

I wonder if it was once mounted is some type of holder.

 

Like a vise?

 

PMD, this is what a clip looks like, notice the "ridge" in the middle where the dies came together:

 

Medal eating mice?

 

I'd say it was filed down on four places 90 degrees apart to fit in some kind of holder. Jewelry/ring/necklace/etc.
