Yes, all clipped coins come from the mint. I even had one in a mint set. I have had blank planchets in Kennedy rolls from the mint.
Cool
Haven’t received anything from the mint since I ordered my 1958 proof set.
WOW !
All the time.

Actually it's two errors in one... Mint and packaging.

Amazing set, I'd love to know the rarity of that...
Hard to tell. I haven't seen many but I guess they're out there.
I don't really know or understand the process of putting these sets together at the mint or wherever they put them together.
But the reality of how I acquired it is really odd. About three years ago, I won this 68 set at my local coin club auction. It was listed on the auction sheet as a packaging error, with 200+ other coins in the auction. I picked it up and looked at it during the viewing period prior to the auction. I saw the two combined cents but also noticed the clipped nickel.
I put the set back down on the table. I stood to the side and watched a dozen other members pick up the set and examine it.
When the auction started, I was the only bidder. I think I paid $10 for it. After the auction was over and I had the set in-hand, I showed it to the club President, the VP, the treasurer and a number of other club member. NONE of them noticed the clipped nickel... until I pointed it out!! They were all shocked!!! They couldn't believe it.
Can you imagine cherrypicking this from an actual coin club?!?!?!? The last place on earth I would have ever imagined finding this without anyone else noticing it! The seller of the set didn't even notice the clip!
The moral of the story: Ever go to a coin club or coin show?... All old white guys and half of them are blind! 😂 😉

That's legit, nice find. Clipped planchets (and other errors, but a lot of clips) can be found in Mint sets, Proof sets, and lots of other Mint issued packaging all the way back to GSA dollars. I have a pile of them, someday I'll post my updated list.

love to see a gsa clip
A quick search of Heritage archives found this one, I am reasonably sure that it is not unique.
Edit to add this auction for another currently active on eBay.

Never a clipped coin but have been clipped financially on most of their products with the ASE and Commemorative dollar series.

That Bicentennial set is very cool! I do not believe I have a 1976 dated clip in Mint packaging, though I think I have a clipped proof cent of that date in a TPG holder.

Why do I envision your house with clipped coins everywhere? 🤣 😉 Have you checked under the cushions of your couch for a 1976 clipped Mint set? 🤣 😉

Pretty close, except the couch is missing half a cushion.

Just got this one in today, I have a couple of clipped Ike dollars in blue packs but this is my first black case proof.

Someone mentioned GSA errors.
I recall that there was a spectacular major off-center Morgan dollar that was found in the hoard and shared with the numismatic media prior to being packaged and randomly sent out to a customer.
I believe that Coin World had the story of the person who received it.
No. I didn’t buy the Liberty Bell Gold coin , this year. It got clipped all the way around.
