Is this penny a mis stamp?

I got this penny and I cant tell if it's miss stamped. The missing area appears to be the same radius as a penny. What's everyone's thoughts?

Thanks

That's not what it's called but it does appear to be a genuine clip. Slight blakesly effect seems visible.

 

Also called an incomplete planchet. But clip is easier to say. It happens when the machine that stamps out the blanks goes wonky or the strip is misfed.

 

Nice find!

 

Post an image of the reverse for a more accurate evaluation.

 

No.

 

As mentioned before it appears to be an incomplete planchet issue. That would be a planchet error not a striking error, so calling it mis stamp is incorrect.

 

Looks like an Incomplete Planchet error. Yours had a curved clip as there are a few types. Here’s a few of mine.


Take another cent and place it in the missing area. This one is small but you can tell if it’s real.

 

It's a clipped planchet. It was like that before it was struck.

 

Here's some more pictures

 

I knew it wasn't a mis stamp but I didn't know the correct term. It's basically a blank that was cut a 2nd time. I used to do metal stamping.

 

We don't collect stamps, here.

 

Nice that such a coin has a clip. I mean it is 120 years old and I find that special.
