It is sometimes hard for me and many others to determine the validity of a clip on some coins whether a curved clip or a straight clip and your' coin is no exception. In honesty, I don't believe it is due to 1) it being ragged, 2) appearing as if it has reeding superimposed inside the clip and 3) the fact that there is a smaller clip about 180 degrees opposite of the bigger one. However, I would wait for some more opinions and post the coin on some other coin sites for opinions.

For the reasons stated by Frank I'm thinking it looks like someone held the edge of it against a grinding wheel. I've been collecting coins for 50 years but errors aren't my strong point. Someone else may have a better idea.

I think if an edge were snipped while being cut that the whole coin would be offset. Its also not my strong suit but I'm sure someone on here knows

It was made by someone who is really knowledgeable about coins and is indeed post mint damage. The smaller clip 180 degrees is known as the blakesley effect and is common on most real clipped planchets but what tells me yours is not real is like frank said the copper core never meshes with the clad layer. It is always two very distinct layers with a definitive edge and smooth not ragged like yours.

Example....

Agreed, PMD.

No problem anytime sorry we didn't have better news but if you keep your eyes peeled you're bound to find something. Also i forgot to mention that your coin also shows no weakness of strike around the affected area like my example coin.
