Error Half Cent

Just arrived earlier in the week, a nice eBay find - a high-grade clipped 1851 Half Cent:
I don't know much about grading these things, but I put this coin at EF-40 to -45. I haven't seen many clips at all on late-date half cents. For some reason I've seen several capped bust half cents with clips, most of those dated 1835 and one 1833. Opinions on the grade or the error welcomed.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

It look like a good-sized nick on the bottom of the nose pushed some metal up toward Liberty's eye. In the hand there are lots of ticks and marks which are not so noticable in the scan.
