  That does not look like a clipped coin, appears to have cut with a bolt cutter or similar tool.

  This is not a true clip. It lacks the correct diagnostics.

  Cut after minting. It is not a clipped planchet.

  All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.

  Agree. Cut, not a clip.

  Better to take photos out of the holder, but in any case there seems to be raised metal at the edge of the cut.

  I agree also. Looks like may have been cut with a bandsaw.

  Do you see the raised ridge along the straight edge on the reverse? This is not possible for a clipped planchet to have after it is struck by the dies. The fields should be flat or even a little tapered leading up to the clipped edge.

  Yep... PMD on that cent.... I hope you have better luck with the rest of the coins in the bag. Cheers, RickO
