1998 D clipped planchet?

I found this penny in loose change. I've never come across a clipped planchet coin and wonder if this is one of them. It had strange punches on the reverse as well. Thanks for your thoughts.

Not clipped, that's post mint damage.

 

That's all damage that you see
all over the coin, including the
'missing' area.

Badly damaged, not an error - sorry.......

 

Ok that's what my gut told me, thanks guys.

 

Your gut speaks wisdom. Remind your gut that if it's a cent post-1982 that you're looking at, post mint damage should be your first guess. Your rate of correctness will soar.
