wowsers, a nice and early red clipped planchet cent. this is caused by the punch that cuts the round blanks for coins out of a strip accidentally clipping an already cut blank.

If it is the real deal, it is worth a lot, but if not, it would be a damaged coin. Images of the devices near the clipped area would be helpful and the opposite rim area would be great image to see in a better image.

From what I can see, the rims nearest the cut look appropriate for a clip. However, due to what is called the Blakesly Effect, there should be visible weakening of the rim structure directly opposite the clip, and it seems that doesn't exist here.
So the jury remains out because there's insufficient photographic evidence to be sure either way. Clipped Lincoln Wheat Cents are rare enough to be worth faking.

Let's decide if it's real first.

Wow, I'd love to see clearer pictures. Specifically near "UNUM" and the bottom of the left wheat stock. Neat coin in some nice condition!

Maybe not, But close ups to help determine either way would be extremely helpful.

I'm aware that a strong-enough strike can offset the failure of the upsetting process, and the collar forms the rim itself. How strong is this strike? Quote:

But sometimes it only happens on one edge of the coin. So I'm waiting for better images.  |

I think it's safe to say that it is a genuine clip. I have yet to see a "faked" clip on an otherwise normal unc/au coin, that even remotely resembled a genuine error.
I would say this error is closer to the $30-35 range, but what are the odds that you'll find another of this date, mint in this condition, and cheaper? You may have to wait a long time. If you need it, buy it.
