Mint clipped?

[attachment=2864][attachment=2865][attachment=2867]Hi, looked again at this penny. What do you think is mint or PMD? thanks ErikP

It's real. Not a clip. There was something there when the planchet was made but it fell out/off before the coin was struck. There's weakness on the reverse (NY and 6) where the metal has flowed into the void. The obverse behind the site is weak. Nice nice nice.

Thanks PP, yes the coin retains regular shape not 'squashed', will keeper, regards ErikP
