The top coin and right side coin are both PMD.

Not sure what you're trying to get us to see with the bottom coin.

I think the bottom coin is an attempt to alter a 1959-D into a "key-date" 1950-D

looking at the effect of the opposite rim the coin on the right could be a genuine clip.

Yes I think that one is a clip that happened to also have had its rim dented. I also think that was for sure a 59 nickel.

Not exactly sure how the sheets look that they clip the planchets out of, but perhaps that nickel was punched out too close to the edge (straight clip) and had another nickel partially punched out of it.

I think the second clip is just pmd, as you can see where the rim was dented and pushed back over the letters o f and a,

Here's my opinion on the three nickels shown. The blank back is Post Mint, the clip is a true double clip, and the old nickel is a 59D missing it's leg no one has altered it in any way. (I'm sure you see this a lot with partial #'s or letters). I thought it was intresting since it tied in to the toughest nickel in the set. Thanks Dennis.

Top and Bottom coins are both PMD, the one on the right would need pictures of the side to get a full understanding if it is a clip.
