Verdict is ‘coined’, perhaps! (8)
I believe the answer is:
decision
'verdict' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is coined perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'is'+'coined'='iscoined'
'iscoined' anagrammed gives 'DECISION'.
(Other definitions for decision that I've seen before include "strength of mind" , "Judgement; settlement" , "Result!" , "Outcome of discussion" , "Verdict, outcome" .)
