Yes, popularly called a clipped planchet,
but since the metal was never there on
the planchet, it's more accurately (but not
popularly) called an 'incomplete planchet.
It shows the cut-and-tear marks (a bit, not much)
inside the clip, metal flow, and the curved rim
at the two points of the clip itself........
Yes. Fred phrases it well.

Some "clips" do/don't have what is referred to as the "Blakesley Effect." When I first saw the thread title (Clipped Abe) I was looking for Abe to have had a haircut or a beard trim.
Old time Barber shops were commonly referred to as "Clip Joints".
i agree with fred. fwiw
