Hello. It looks good to me, but can we see the edge a little better? Thanks!

 

Could be a straight Incomplete Planchet or it could be altered.

You need to show the opposite side of the Cent.
Your covering it with your fingers in all the pictures.
Lay the Cent flat on a surface and take a picture.
There is something called the Blakesley Effect which is a weakening of the strike opposite of the area in question.

Also.. A planchet isn't actually ever clipped. It's Incomplete. The planchet was cut from the stock sheet a bit close to the previous cut planchet or from the edge.

 

I would say it is not a Clipped Planchet from the photos provided.

 

Ok thank you all for your comments I will try to take a better picture after I get home from work.

 

As mentioned earlier, the rim opposite the clip should be a little weak. I've attached an example. However, I think your cent looks like damage.
