I would also like to disagree. After looking at the closeup photos, I see no sign of metal displacement from being damaged and am more sure than not that this is a genuine error. I guess the only way to tell for sure would be to send it to a TPG to get verified. If it is truly an incomplete clip, it would be worth it.

It looks to me like an incomplete clip which would be a planchet error, not a mint error. My only concern is that is if it genuine or made on purpose to make it look like an error. On the Obverse the clip does not go over the edge of the coin plus the thickness in some areas. Perhaps someone can verify it either way.

Welcome to the Forum-
That is called a counterstamp. Someone for some reason had stamped the coin after it left the mint. 
 

Let me start by saying excellent pictures.
Everything that you are showing is PMD, I cannot see any true errors anywhere.
Sometimes it can be difficult for new collectors to tell the difference between errors and damage. One thing to remember is that it is only an error if it happens during the actual striking of the coin, anything that happens after that is damage, even if it happens in the mint. There are a limited number of things that can happen to create an error but there are countless things that can create damage. Things like dings, scratches, distorted letters,  markings that appear to look like numbers and letters, discolouration, counter stamps are all considered damage. 
By reading some of the numerous websites available, you can quickly begin to learn the differences. Here are two that I find are informative.

You have partially described what a Rim Fin or Finning as some call it. It is a thin flange of the metal that extends over the edge of the coin usually caused by excessive striking pressure which causes the metal to squeeze out of the thin gap between the die neck and the collar. Once these have been put into circulation, the fin gets folded over the rim.  Not much value once they have been folded over but if you can find one that isn't folded, then you would have one with some value.
Nice photos showing where it is folded over.

It has some value, it's worth five cents.

Pretty well worn and scratched. You might get a couple of dollars for it on eBay.

Yes, the 1998 WAM has a premium. Nice find.

There are several factors including a genuine coin is sold silver, not "silver and something else" but the easiest way to tell is that it is stamped with an R which stands for Replica.

Your 50% correct, Its PMD

I wouldn't say the OP is a "newbie" with 214 posts.
He asked a question and then corrected himself  and "put this one to rest" with an apology..
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Welcome to the Forum-
Agree with JKK.
We need a clear cropped photo of each side to determine anything. No need for all the extra background.
 

Good diagnosis Greg
I was going to say that it was PMD even before seeing the second photos due to the fact that what you have would be impossible to happen during the striking of the coin. You don't always need to know how it happened but how it didn't happen to determine if it is an error or PMD

Welcome to the Forum-
That Double Eagle is about an ounce of solid gold and probably worth around $2200.00. Nice gift to get.
That plastic case means that it has been graded by PCGS with a grading of MS62. Do not take it out of the case as that is proof of its authenticity.
The green on your cents is corrosion on the copper, something like when copper water pipes start to turn green in areas.
 

Brad, If you are going to be looking for error coins, I suggest you read a couple of sites devoted to errors and Doubled Dies. This will give you an idea of what to look for. It seems that everything you have posted lately is not even close.

Also FYI, here is a picture of a Doubled Struck coin. Notice how the second strike affects both sides and is the same image as the first strike.

I'm going to go with your first thought Greg and say it is damage from a hit. You can see from your side shots (excellent pictures by the way) where the rim has been raised from the metal being pushed in. This would not happen during the striking of the coin.

Pictures are still out of focus but from what I can see, I would say it is counterfeit. I have seen this counterfeit before.
 

That helps to verify my previous statement of it being counterfeit, the weight should be 1.7g.

This is the Forum for selling coins, if you post here it is assumed that you are selling the coin.
In the future, you only need to post it once, you don't get faster results with multiple posts. As it turns out on your other posting, the coin is counterfeit so you can't sell it anyway but always best to inquire first if your not sure.

Always show both sides of the coin when posting. Also take it out of the 2x2 when shooting to avoid glare.
This applies to your other post as well.

First of all , even if it was genuine, it is illegal to own as they were never released to the public and are considered government property so it could be seized as some that have already been. Also the weight should be .93 g.
There are many Chinese counterfeits of these out there that you can buy for less than 2 dollars so you can see why I am sceptical of it's legitimacy.
