    I say damage for two reasons - the clip doesn't go through to the opposite side, and if you look carefully at the inside of the clipped edge I think you can see where the denticles are pushed into the field. The token saw a lot of corrosion and wear after the damage, which smoothed out whatever evidence there was of the metal being pushed, but I'm about 99% sure that's what happened.

    Agree. Post mintage damage. Neat token but it needs a long soak in mineral oil to get rid of all that grime and crud.
