1818 Large Cent clip and defective planchet

I just picked this one up a couple days ago. This is the oldest error I have, if it is actually an error.
It is too worn for me to tell for sure if this is a genuine clip. What do you think?
I belive the planchet defect is real. Please tell me if I'm wrong.
Do you think this combination will have a premium, or make it worth less, and how common are these?
Sorry for all the questions, but this is my oldest u.s. coin that I have and
unfortunately I don't know much about it. Thanks

I have a clip for the date in a much higher grade, and there's an nice example with a rim clip which has been cycling on eBay recently without selling. For the type the 1818 and 1820 are the most commonly dates found with clips, at least in the earlier date range.

those die cracks through ED to bottom ST over to O(F). Perhaps
late die state.

I also found an old image of my example, which happens to be from the same die pair as the OP (see the die cracks on the reverse under STATES):
