PCGS 1997-P Roosevelt dime with a huge 55% curved clip, and weight of only 1.03 grams.
1964-D 1c Lincoln 30% Double Curved Clipped NGC MS66 Red
NGC 1921 Morgan dollar with a large ragged clip at 9:30 o'clock. The clip is large for a Morgan dollar, with clips larger than this all but unknown. Ragged clips like this are tough to find.

It's not dramatic but I thought I would post it here for an opinion. Now that I'm looking at this thing up close after all these years, do you see a minor clip or just damage from the encasement?

I would say damage. look at the flattening on Lincoln's lapel. There may be damage under the date. I think that the spot you are looking is a continuation of that damage.

In my opinion it is a defective planchet.
Note the roughness on the reverse rim from about 3:00 to 4:00.
This affected the striking of the obverse rim, opposite the defective area.

I have seen similar damage on the rims of several encased cents. Seems to be an occasional part of the process.

I also vote damage, the E in ONE has the same marks as the reverse rim, and there is flattening in the portrait as well. I also do not see any signs of metal flow on the obverse, just flattening.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
