Need some help with a jefferson nickel error

A nice real nickel error, can you read the date?

Off center curved clip.

Here is his brother.

It's an off-center strike on a nickel planchet with a large curved clip.

Incomplete planchets: Often, though erroneously, called a "clip," an incomplete planchet results from a mishap in the blanking process. If the planchet strip does not advance far enough after a bank of punches rams through the metal, producing planchets, the punches come down and overlap the holes where the planchets were already punched out. Where the overlapping takes place, there is a curved area that appears to be "missing" from the planchet. If the strip slides to the side too far and the punches overlap the side of the strip, the missing area is straight. If the punches overlap the end of the strip, the missing area is either ragged or straight, depending on whether the end of the strip was trimmed.

The word "clip," commonly used, suggests a piece of the planchet was cut off, which is not the cause of the incomplete planchet. "Clip," when properly used, refers to the ancient process of cutting small pieces of metal from the edges of precious metal coins for the bullion; that is why U.S. gold and silver coins have lettered or reeded edges, to make it more difficult to clip a coin.

An "incomplete planchet planchet" occurs when the punch does not completely punch out a planchet, but leaves a circular groove. If the strip advances improperly, planchets overlapping the incomplete punch will bear a curved groove; the groove remains visible after the coin is struck.

Many incomplete planchet errors have a "signature" known as the Blakesley effect. The area of the rim 180 degrees opposite the "clip" is weak or non-existent since the rim-making process in the upset mill is negated by the "clip." The lack of pressure in the upset mill at the clip results in improper formation of the rim on the opposite side.

Agree. That was just the definition from the book. I use clip myself.
